MiMoji

MiMoji is Xiaomi's app with animojis similar to those of Apple's iPhone. Record videos in which different emojis can react to your facial expressions

Emojis with face recognition

The facial recognition capabilities incorporated by certain Android phones and the iPhone via the notch at the top of the device's user interface contributed to the development of Animojis. The latter, invented by Apple, made different emojis react to our facial expressions and imitated our gestures.

Xiaomi's Animoji application

This feature has now been adopted by other brands such as Huawei or Samsung, as well as Xiaomi, which has just released MiMoji. The app offers us a whole range of characters to choose from, some of which are similar to Apple's. Once we've chosen our favorite, all we have to do is press the red button to start recording videos with voice messages that we can share through different apps of the likes of WhatsApp.

The application, which includes a male and female voice modulator, comes in APK format and for the time being it's not available for download from Google Play.

Requirements and further information:

• Only works with Xiaomi smartphones with face recognition capabilities.

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 7.0.
• Installing the app using the APK file requires enabling the "Unknown Sources" option in Settings > Applications.
