Get More of the AR Emoji on your Samsung phone

Last Update date : Oct 20. 2020

Sometimes actions speak louder than words. The new and improved AR Emoji is perfect for just that, showing off to your friends and family through texts and other messaging platforms. New features have also been added to the AR Emoji like selecting the age of your AR Emoji, wider range of customisation options, adding a Mask, Mini motion and creating your own Stickers.

Haven't created your AR Emoji just yet? To set up a new AR emoji, check out the guide at How to Use AR Emoji.

Please Note: This guide is designed for Australian variant Galaxy devices. Screenshots were captured from the Galaxy Note10+ 5G operating on Android OS Version 9.0 (Pie), steps and features may vary depending on your Galaxy device and the Android OS Version.

Using Mask

The AR Mask is perfect when you want to show off your new outfit but you may not be looking your best. Once you have selected this option and yourface has been recognised your AR Emoji will copy your facial expressions, try frowning or smiling or poking your tongue out.
