Hi there, does Apple allow to embed Animojis in your app? We are developing a learning app and want to use one specific animoji as a "brand ambassador" who is presenting the information. Was wondering whether there are any trademark issue with this or whether Apple is just fine with it? Any experiences and thoughts are much appreciated! Stephan
Can I embed Animojis in my App?
My understanding is that it is forbidden by guidelines. That's for emojis, but I guess the same applies to animojis.
5.2.5 Apple Products: Don’t create an app that appears confusingly similar to an existing Apple product, interface (e.g. Finder), app (such as the App Store, iTunes Store, or Messages) or advertising theme. Apps and extensions, including third-party keyboards and Sticker packs, may not include Apple emoji.
You'd better check with Apple support. Right of use may depend on how exactly you intend to use them.
