Change your appearance in a FaceTime call on iPad

During video calls in the FaceTime app, you can become your favorite Memoji.

Become a Memoji

On an iPad with a TrueDepth camera, you can create a Memoji character in the Messages app to use in your FaceTime calls. iPad captures your movements, facial expressions, and voice, and conveys them through your character. Your character imitates you even when you stick out your tongue!
