Preliminary information
Prima di enter the live tutorial, walking to spiegare how to put Animoji on Instagram, there is some preliminary information about it that I need to give you.
To begin with, let's try to understand what exactly the Animoji. As anticipated at the beginning, it is about animated emojis available “standard” on the most recent Apple-branded mobile devices: iPhone X and later models and iPad Pro 11 / 12.9-inch and later models.
To achieve them, facial recognition is used, through the front camera of the device, as they trace what are the user's expressions. They can depict both animals and fictional characters. In short, it is a dynamic and animated version of the Memoji, the "static" smileys always present on the devices of the "bitten apple".
Once created, Animoji can then be shared on Instagram in the form of video, so it is possible to insert them both within the post that of stories, as is usual with any other movie.
To create an Animoji and record a video with it, just open theapp Messages iPhone, tap the icon icon with the paper and the pencil located at the top right, in order to start a new conversation with a sender of your choice (if you do not want to send the video with the Animoji to third parties, you can also choose your own contact) or select a existing conversation and tap on the icon Stylized "A" and then on that of the smiley face with glasses on black background.
At this point, you have to choose the Animoji you prefer or create your own by tapping the button capacitor positive (+) lead, bring the iPhone to face height to frame yourself with the front camera and record the video, pressing the button with the round red circle.
At the end of the registration, tap on the icon of arrow, to send the Animoji in the selected conversation. Subsequently, save the video with the newly created Animoji in the smartphone Gallery, so that you can then use it on Instagram, by making a long tap on the relative preview and choosing the voice Save from the menu that appears. For more details, you can refer to my specific guide on how to make videos with Animoji.
Su Androidinstead, it is not possible to have the exact same animated smileys, but you can still achieve something similar using a feature built into theCamera app of some smartphones, for example the Samsung Galaxy S9 and later models, but also using some apps used for this purpose, such as VideoMoji and EMOJI Face Recorder, which are free (but with in-app purchases) and which can be downloaded directly from the Play Store (possibly they are also available on alternative stores). For more information, I refer you to reading my guide on how to make Animoji on Android.
