Furthermore, you can now use AR emojis as profile pictures in contacts and Samsung accounts. You can choose from more than 10 poses or create your own expressions. If you don’t like your real face, you can now use a slightly scary but idealized version as your contact photo.
If AR emojis are not enough for your contact photos, you can now use them in One UI 4 to make cool dance videos. There are templates from 10 different categories, including #Fun, #Cute, and #Party. You can even use your own hand-drawn sketches to create custom clothing for your AR emoji.

The following features are available:
- AR Emoji Camera: Use the camera to create your My Emoji avatar.
