With any iOS update, Apple is releasing some awesome new tricks with iOS 11 and the new iPhone 8 that’s set to drop sometime next year. Someone leaked some tidbits of information on the deep, dark web and now – everyone is dying to get their hands on the new iOS 11 software. According to the leak, there will be new things included for iPhones such as facial recognition (like scanning your fingerprint to unlock your phone), brand new effects and camera qualities and of course – animated emojis.
Animated emojis are exactly what they sound like – emojis that move. Now, I don’t know about you – but I’m pretty excited for these. They’re 3D and they move and make faces.

The coolest part about it is that they move and express themselves based off of your own expressions (using the face scan software).

It seems as though everyone’s going to want to get their hands on the iPhone 8 now – animojis are going to be the new “blue bubbles,” afterall.
