Facial recognition emojis or “Animojis” are only available on devices with Face ID, it uses the True Depth Camera system to track your facial movement to animate them.


Seeing as the iPhone 8 Plus doesn’t have this hardware it can’t use this feature. You can however create a Memoji in messages which you can use throughout the system.
