iOS 18.2 Introduces Genmoji: Create Your Own Emojis

iOS 18.2 brings Genmoji, a new Apple Intelligence feature allowing users to create custom emojis. This feature combines AI and emoji creation, letting users describe the emoji they want, and Apple Intelligence generates several options.

Creating Genmoji

Access Genmoji through the emoji keyboard's new glowing smiley icon. Describe the desired emoji, and Apple Intelligence will generate options. Refine your description for better results. Alternatively, search for an emoji; if no match is found, the "Create New Emoji" suggestion uses your search terms to generate options. Created Genmoji are saved for reuse.

Genmoji Capabilities and Limitations

  • Create emojis based on people you know, using their name and photo as reference.
  • Cannot create emojis based on recognized intellectual property due to copyright restrictions.

Device Compatibility

  • Fully supported on iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
  • Other iPhones can receive and resend Genmoji but cannot create them.
