How to use Animoji and Memoji on older iPhones and iPads.

Animoji and Memoji are animated emoji that mimic your facial expressions using your iPhone's forward facing camera. While most adults are probably not going to converse with animated emojis, kids definitely delight in them.

Checking for warranty coverage or scheduling a repair typically requires entering this information, as each iPhone has its own unique number.
