Does all iPhone have Memoji?

Answered by Cody Janus

Not all iPhones have Memoji. Memoji is a feature that allows users to create personalized animated characters that mimic their facial expressions and movements. It was introduced with the iPhone X, which was the first iPhone to have a TrueDepth camera system.

The TrueDepth camera system consists of several components, including an infrared camera, a flood illuminator, and a dot projector. These components work together to create a detailed depth map of the user’s face, which is then used to track their facial movements and expressions.

The iPhone X, ‌iPhone‌ XS, ‌iPhone‌ XS Max, and ‌iPhone‌ 11 series all have TrueDepth camera systems, and therefore, they are compatible with Memoji. Users of these devices can create their own Memoji characters and animate them using their facial expressions.

In addition to the iPhones mentioned above, the ‌iPhone‌ XR also has a TrueDepth camera system and is compatible with Memoji. This means that owners of the ‌iPhone‌ XR can also create and use Memoji.

It’s worth noting that Memoji is not available on older iPhone models that do not have a TrueDepth camera system. So if you have an older iPhone model, such as the ‌iPhone‌ 8 or earlier, you will not be able to create or use Memoji.

However, even if you don’t have a device with a TrueDepth camera system, you can still receive and view Memoji messages sent by others. These messages will be displayed as videos or stickers that you can watch or save.

To summarize, Memoji is a feature that is available on iPhones with a TrueDepth camera system, including the iPhone X, ‌iPhone‌ XS, ‌iPhone‌ XS Max, ‌iPhone‌ 11 series, and the ‌iPhone‌ XR. Older iPhone models without a TrueDepth camera system do not support Memoji.
