Your iPhone's camera just got an upgrade thanks to iOS 12 - here are all the ways it changed

With iOS 12, Animoji can now wink and stick out their tongues.

Apple also added four new Animoji characters: a ghost, a koala, a tiger, and a T-Rex.

Apple added Memoji in iOS 12, which are customizable avatars that work similarly to Animoji. Memoji work by themselves in iMessage, or can be used during group FaceTime.

Memoji are only available for iPhone X and above.

Starting with iOS 11, your phone's camera can detect QR codes automatically, sending you a notification when it identifies the correct website.

Apple says it has improved the scanner in iOS 12. It will now highlight the codes inside the frame, which makes them easier to scan.

If your phone has an A9 chip or later, you can edit RAW images on your iPhone or iPad.

Apple also says it's "easier than ever" to import photos and videos from a professional camera to your iPhone or iPad.

The For You tab will now house your Memories (which are curated by Apple based on the images in your library), any shared album activity, and what Apple thinks are some of the best photos from your library.

The For You tab will also show you featured photos, as well as "Effect Suggestions," which propose edits to your photos.

These personalization changes make the Photos app a lot more similar to Google Photos.

If you take photos while you're out with a group of friends, Apple will detect the faces and start suggesting that you share them with those friends.

And if a friend sends you photos, your phone can also now look for photos from the same event and ask if you'd like to share them back.

You'll now be able to search for events or places inside the photos app, or type in multiple search terms at once. Apple will also supply smart suggestions, which will pop up when you're typing in your search query.
