The animoji does not match your movements and facial expressions

When encountering this problem, consider the following factors:

1. Light: As bright as possible. Animoji does not use Face ID, they use ARKit. And to track movements and facial expressions properly, it needs light.
2. Location: You need to put the right face into the square displayed on the screen. This limit box is yellow in the middle of the screen. You need to put the face in the box and hold it still.
3. Keeping the face still: TrueDepth camera system needs to see you during the Animoji creation time. Keep your iPhone X steady and steady as possible.

The animoji was jerky or frozen when recording

To keep Animoji tracking the head and facial expressions, you need to consider the following factors:

• Avoid overload: Animoji takes up a lot of memory to handle. If you recently used advanced apps such as games or photo filters, you need to exit or restart iPhone X before creating Animoji.
• Keep your face still: If you move your face out of the TrueDepth camera field (yellow limit box) - it will stop tracking your movements and facial expressions.

The animoji could not be sent

• Patience: Animoji is sent as a movie file and may take several minutes to prepare and upload. See the blue line at the top of the Messages window to track progress.
• Keep the conversation still: If you exit the Messages app or switch to another conversation, Animoji may not be able to send or disappear completely. Please be patient and wait until it is sent.
