Apple has finally given users a glimpse into how its much-anticipated Genmoji feature will work. Originally announced during WWDC 2023 in June, Genmoji allows users to create custom AI-generated emojis using Apple Intelligence. The tech giant recently updated its iPadOS 18 guide to include instructions on activating this new feature, and it seems quicker and easier to use than expected.
According to Apple’s guide, creating a Genmoji is seamless. Users simply need to tap the emoji icon, type a description of what they want, and then hit “Create New Emoji.” The AI will generate a custom emoji based on the user’s input, offering a new layer of personalization in digital communication.
However, the feature has yet to be widely tested by the public. The ease with which users can create Genmojis could make it one of the more popular features introduced in iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2, which are expected to be released later this year.
The feature is part of Apple’s larger push into AI with its Apple Intelligence tools. If it works as seamlessly as described, we may soon see social media flooded with custom emojis featuring everything from surfing dogs to cowboy frogs.
For those eager to try Apple Intelligence’s Genmoji feature, it’s essential to have one of Apple’s latest iPhones that are compatible with the new AI tools. The iPhone 16 Pro, for instance, is expected to make the most of Apple Intelligence’s capabilities, offering users an intuitive and creative way to engage with the latest in AI technology.
