Drawing your own animated character on your iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max or iPhone XR can be so much fun! Create your own custom Anidoodle characters by drawing different expressions for their facial features. Then, using data provided by your device's TrueDepth camera system, the app projects your expressions onto the character you've created. Record your Anidoodle messages, including your voice, and share them with your friends! _________________________________ Start by drawing a few expressions for your eyes and mouth. You don't need to be that good at drawing, you'll be amazed at the results anyway!
