If you like bringing fun into your video calling, you would want to make the most of these new-age emojis. Using the advanced TrueDepth camera, they capture your facial movements in real-time.

Wrapping up

As far as adding tons of joy to the conversation is concerned, I find this feature right on the money. I wish Animojis were available across the iOS devices. Wouldn’t it be great if you could use them on your iPad as well?

Faced with strong competition from third-party video calling apps like  Skype, Viber, and even Messenger, it has got the much needed shot in the arm to remain a top-notch option. What’s the one feature you would still like to see in FaceTime?
