So I updated my phone to the iOS 12 update and after reading and getting hyped about the new Animoji and Memoji feature its supposed to have for all the devices I realized mine did not update to that and there was no Animoji or Memoji and I’m upset about it. Is there something I’m missing? A setting I didn’t see? Please help!
iPhone 6s, iOS 12
No. The limiting factor is the cameras. The iPhone X and later have the face capture / tru depth cameras. Other models do not have this, and as such the face tracking mechanism for the the animoji and memoji do not exist on other models including the iPhone 8 and 8 plus.
The hardware and computing power to do it is not available in previous iPhone models,
See ChrispyT's response above, he is correct.
Animoji and Memoji are exclusive to iPhone X and later so your iPhone 6s will not get any of those features.
Aww :( I hate that they said that in the topic of iOS 12. Maybe I just misunderstood the updates and only it applied to the newer phones. Thanks!
im upset about it too!
💔
I have the iPhone 8 and I’m confused because it came out at the same time the iPhone X did so does it get the Animoji and Memoji?
I updated my iPhone 6s but I do not have the Memoji or Animoji feature like it discusses in its update for these phones. This needs to be fixed :/
