Animoji Facial Expressions Detection or Head Movements Issue

Please note that Animoji demands some things to establish a proper face detection.
The better the light in the room, the accurate the detection is. The Animoji Features uses ARKit instead of the Face ID, and for the facial expression and head detection matching accordingly, it requires better lighting. Better lighting in a sense that your face should be visibly lighter on your iPhone X’s camera, not putting a flashlight on your face.
Fit your face in the box. There’s an accurate spot for the facial expression and head tracking that the Animoji feature will indicate on the screen with a yellow limiting box as its limit. You need to fully shoot your face inside that box and hold still while capturing.
Don’t move a lot, and stay still. The TrueDepth camera feature requires to track you the whole time when you’re creating an Animoji. With that said, it doesn’t matter how excited or dramatic your act is, you should still keep steady and stable with the position the TrueDepth camera of your iPhone X limits you to.
