Genmoji Finally Lets Me Create the Emoji I Want—but It Kind of Sucks
1 min read
Summary
Genmoji is an AI-powered feature from Apple that enables users to create their own unique emojis.
The feature was introduced with iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.3.
Users can create personalised emojis using the emoji keyboard and describing the emotion or creation they are aiming to express.
The more detail that is provided, the more accurate the result will be.
There are some shortfalls with the technology, notably that the emojis do not always adhere to Apple’s signature style and can sometimes include unwanted details.
Genmojis do not work on most third-party apps like WhatsApp and Instagram and currently send as stickers rather than emojis.
This is predicted to change as Apple has announced they will operate like regular emojis in the future.
