The iPhone X's 'Animoji' feature has created an excellent new meme

So simple, but so joyful

The iPhone X's 'Animoji' feature has created an excellent new meme
06 November 2017

It’s Monday morning, you’re still somehow hungover from Friday night, and you need some joy in your life - literally anything to momentarily wrench you away from the hell that is Being Alive.

Well good news, we have just the thing for you, in the form of a very stupid yet very enjoyable meme, that’s been born out of the new iPhone X’s ‘Animoji’ feature.

If you hadn’t seen, one of the more gimmicky updates the new thousand-pound iPhone brings you is the ability to bring emoji to life, in a similar way to Snapchat filters.

The feature maps your face, allowing you to ‘become’ an emoji, like this:

It didn’t take long to realise that this means you can make the Animoji sing, by miming the words to a song, while playing the real version in the background.

And so ‘Animoji Karaoke’ was born, and is now going viral, thanks to the Twitter account @AnimojiVids.

Here are some of the best:

’I Will Always Love You’ - Whitney Houston

’Get Lucky’ - Daft Punk

’Man’s Not Hot’ - Roadman Shaq

’Who Let the Dogs Out’ - Baha Men

’Hello’ - Adele

’In the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle’ - The Tokens

’All Star’ - Smash Mouth

’Waterfalls’ - TLC

So simple, and yet so full of joy.
