How to Share Animoji or Memoji Stills Using Screenshot

Animoji and Memoji are available on iOS devices with TrueDepth camera sensors (with Face ID devices). You can use them on iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XS, and the 2019 iPad Pros.

We’ll get into the more complex methods later. But first, let’s talk about the most obvious one – taking a screenshot. Personally, I use Memoji or Animoji mostly as a face filter, with the selfie view in the Messages app. If that’s also your most common use case, you can get away with just using the screenshot feature. And in iOS 12, there’s a fairly seamless workflow for quickly sharing a screenshot to any app.

In this example, I’ll talk about using a Memoji face filter but you can do the same for any still Animoji or Memoji.

Step 1: Open the Messages app and start a new iMessage conversation with yourself.

Step 2: Tap on the Camera button.



Step 3: Tap on the Effects button in the bottom-left and the app will automatically switch to the front-facing camera.

Step 4: From the toolbar above, tap on the Animoji button. Here, select a Memoji or Animoji that suits your needs and then tap on the X button.



Step 5: Now that you’re back to the main view where you see the shutter button, pose and instead of pressing the shutter button, take a screenshot instead.



Step 6: On iOS 12, you’ll see a little floating preview of the screenshot in the bottom left corner. Tap on it before it disappears.

Step 7: Now, use the bars at the top to crop the photo so that it only includes selfie.

Step 8: Tap on the Share button from the bottom and select app you want to share it to – WhatsApp, Messenger and so on. If you don’t see the app here, tap on the More button and add it from the list.



Step 9: Now, the app’s sharing menu will open. Choose the contact to share it with and boom, it will be sent.

Step 10: You’ll be back to the screenshot editing view. From here tap on the Done button and you’ll see two options. Tap on the Delete Screenshot button to stop the screenshot from cluttering your Camera Roll.



The same way that you took a screenshot and cropped the selfie, you can do it with any Animoji or Memoji sent as a still (sticker).
