How to Make your own Memoji in iOS 12?
Last Year when Apple released iPhone X, it was understood that MEMOJI will launch soon. And, soon with first public beta iOS 12 memoji were ready for their debut.
The concept of animated emoji first brought by Facebook and Whatsapp is a great hit in messaging and chatting. We all use emojis while feeling affectionate towards them.
Moreover, the use of emoji shortens your conversation and allows to express yourself way better than the sentences.
But still, sentences are the species of expressions and emoji are the flavors.
How MEMOJI came into action?
You, will not believe it but the history of emoji takes you back in the 20th century!
First ever emoji was created by Shigetaka Kurita in 1999. Shigetaka was working on NTT DoCoMo's i-mode mobile Internet platform. There he created a set of 176 emoji considered as the first set.
Google, Apple, Facebook and Whatsapp then made emoji worldwide. But, Japan was 20 years ahead of this time and all thanks are to Kurita.
In 2017, a Hollywood blockbuster movie named “The Emoji Movie” proved the modern art of digital messaging, a combination of pictures and letters.
Snapchat bitmoji and Samsung animated AR emoji are the building blocks of Apple iOS 12’s Memoji.
Memoji - Myself + Animation + Emoji
Memoji refers to animated humans of digital messaging. You must be wondering how then let’s discuss it -
In 2017 at Worldwide Developer Conference, Apple announced varieties of new features of iOS 12. Furthermore, the update of Apple’s Animoji into a Memoji was on their priority list.
