What is Memoji?
Memoji is a feature available on iPhones running iOS 13 or later that lets you create and customize animated avatars that resemble you or anyone else you desire. It essentially brings your emojis to life by enabling them to mimic your facial expressions and movements through the TrueDepth camera system on your iPhone.
