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

Jan 28, 2018 #CHEAP IPHONE X SKIN

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.
