Or you can create and share a personalized Memoji (an Animoji that looks just like you). Users can also become a robot, alien, skull, ghost, or even a pile of poop.

Start with exciting new filters, video stickers, and live Animoji, which let you become your favorite animal: bear, koala, tiger, unicorn, dragon, lion, chicken, bunny, panda, pig, fox, dog, cat, monkey, or T-Rex and record messages to send to friends.

More memorable Messages: Text, voice, and photo messages become so basic next to all the fun new communication tools in Apple's latest iOS software. Measure can also help you with leveling, if you're hanging art or a mirror, for example. Users can then take a photo of the measurement to refer to later.

For distances, tap any item and move your phone or tablet to the next item. Made to measure: The new AR-based Measure app uses the augmented reality view to quickly calculate distances between any two objects using your iPhone or iPad.
