iOS 18.2 Unleashes Genmoji: Personalized Emojis Arrive on iPhone and iPad
Apple's latest update, iOS 18.2, introduces Genmoji, a fun new feature that lets you create personalized emojis. This feature uses Apple Intelligence to transform text descriptions into unique emojis, adding a new level of expression to your messages.
Creating Your Own Genmoji
Creating a Genmoji is simple. Open the emoji selector in Messages or any compatible app and tap the "new emoji" button. Describe what you want, like "a dog in Christmas clothes," and Apple Intelligence generates the emoji right on your device. Check out this article for more details on creating personalized emojis.
Device Compatibility and Availability
Genmoji requires an iPhone 15 Pro or later, or an iPad with M1 chip or later (including the latest iPad mini). Apple plans to bring Genmoji to macOS in a future update. For those interested in Apple's latest software updates across devices, see this link.
