Download Animoji App For Android

It's been almost two months since the launch of Apple's 2017 flagship, the iPhone X, and it doesn't seem that the iPhone fever will die out anytime soon.

Whether it's the awesome dual camera or the super powerful A11 Bionic processor, the iPhone X is a pretty sweet deal. But what made this deal even sweeter was the inclusion of Animoji or animated emojis.

These animated emojis are made using the TrueDepth camera and a host of other technologies such as infrared camera and dot projector. These software scan and map your face and voice and transform the data into adorable animations.

Nov 08, 2017 Now coming back to our point for this post — Animoji for Android, we believe it should be possible for app developers to bring a app for Android which could do similar stuff as Animogy on iPhone.

Replicating Apple features on Android (or vice versa) is a never-ending affair and I doubt it's fading in the near future. This time around, developers have raced ahead to build Animoji apps for Android.

But can software simulation alone compete against hi-tech software and hardware?

If you dig around, you'll end up finding numerous apps on Google Play Store that claim to easily produce Animojis. But can software simulation alone compete against hi-tech software and hardware? Highly doubtful.

Android Animojis – Hoax or Real?

We started off by searching for iPhone X Animoji in the Play Store. It did surprise me that a few of the apps had a 4+ rating.

However, no matter how hard I tried, the only result I was able to get out of the first app was two full-face emojis that barely came close to iPhone's Animojis. The only point of resemblance was the motion tracking.

The rest of them? Well, it had more in common with stickers that you'd find in all camera apps these days or on Instagram Stories. But thankfully, we didn't encounter many ads in the app.

Dissatisfied, we headed off again to the Play Store and, this time, we picked up one app that proudly mentioned all the relevant Animoji keywords in its name.

Unfortunately, we had to leave this one as soon as we opened it. Apart from displaying the number of emojis that it supported and dozens of ads in between, the app showed a download time of up to 3 hours.

Uninstalled!

Ads, Ads, and More Ads

Not among those to be easily disheartened, we tried our luck, yet again, and combed through the Play Store to find some more reliable apps for animated emoji. The ones we found claimed to be an Animoji maker for phone X — yes, with the i missing.

The number of full-screen in-app ads in this one is sure to exasperate anyone. If you're anyway lucky to get past the ads, there's nothing remotely resembling the iPhone X Animojis.

Instead, you'll land up on a page that lets you put eyes and a nose on a blank emoji. Motion tracker? *blows a raspberry*

Android 0 - Apple 1

If you're still wondering whether the iPhone X-like Animojis work on Android phones, the answer is a resounding no. At least, for now.

While some of the apps can track your face at the very least and place a big blob on it, the rest take the highway to monetization. To repeat my point again, I couldn't find a single decent app on the Play Store that wrapped up all the features of Animojis — voice, motion tracking, and cool emojis.

So, until the day your phone is equipped with the complementing hardware and software, the best option is to move past the download button. Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat offer built-in stickers that should be enough for now to satiate your need for animated and funny stickers.

Apple just finished their iPhone 8 launch event, and we gotta say it was incredible, gorgeous, best ever ..erm nah! just okay event. But seriously, that Animoji thing from the iPhone X, it looks incredibly fun and super cute. We gotta have it on Android.

It’s not that Android is far, we have some cool apps on the Play Store which lets users share a variety animated emojis that are fun. But Animoji is different. For those who were busy enough to avoid watching the live event, here about Animogy from us.

Apple announced iPhone X with an advanced imaging system on front of the device. The system was built to enable fast and secure Face unlock feature called Face ID for iPhone X since there’s no home button/fingerprint scanner on the device as it has gone all screen on the front now. This new advanced imaging system on front of iPhone X is able to read your face like never before (on a phone), and the Animogy feature takes advantage of this tech to convert your facial expressions into animated emojis. And they look pretty sweet.

Now coming back to our point for this post — Animoji for Android, we believe it should be possible for app developers to bring a app for Android which could do similar stuff as Animogy on iPhone X does. Of course, it won’t be as accurate as on iPhone, but it’ll be something cool.

Also, the Google Allo app on Android devices already have animated emojis support, and it is cute too. Although, they are predefined and won’t animate according to your facial expressions like Animoji on iPhone X does, but it’s something better.

How to send Animated emojis on Android with Allo

  1. Open a conversation on Google Allo.
  2. Tap on the emoji icon inside the area where you type text.
  3. Select an emoji you would like to send.
  4. Now hold the send button and drag it all the way up. This will turn the flat emoji into an animated one.
  5. Release the Send button to send the animated emoji.

Below are some more emoji apps currently available on Play Store which are fun as well. Have a look:

We’ll be sure to update this post when something more promising like comes Animoji comes to Android. Stay tuned..
