iOS 18's New 'Genmoji' Feature Lets You Create Your Own Emoji

[MacRumors]

One of the new Apple Intelligence features coming to the iPhone with iOS 18 is Genmoji, which allows you to instantly create your own custom emoji.

AI-generated emoji can be created with text prompts like "smiley relaxing wearing cucumbers" or "t-rex wearing a tutu on a surfboard."

Just like emoji, Apple says Genmoji can be added to messages, shared as a sticker, or used as a Tapback reaction in the Messages app.

Apple Intelligence features are not included in the first beta of iOS 18, and instead will become available for testing over the U.S. summer.

iOS 18 should be publicly released in September.

I believe the Braindead Monkeys put it best about a year and a half ago, in "You're Not Helping".
"Do you really NEED a smiley face eating a pickle while wearing a sombrero?"

That's the power of Apple Intelligence.

Will this put Apple's emoji creators out of a job?

Tbh the Image Playground & this seem really Un-Applelike.

But more than anything, the lack of demo hearing Siri is worrying to me.

Will Genmoji bring back the revolver, along with new rifles etc? I'm gonna call it Gunmoji 😎

There was a fake rumor about the clown emoji going away too, wonder what restrictions Genmoji will have in general

Enough with the emoji's already.

Mark my words, Genmoji may be one of the most impactful features to in terms of getting consumers comfortable with AI.

it looks really tacky

 

[vertsix]

This is going to be massive with the zoomers.

I see this as a fun way to get new, younger, and older users comfortable with AI. Even if it's just an entry into the concept of AI, a beginning stage for the masses.

 

[Dulcimer]

Genuinely impressed by this. The fact that they can be sent inline with message makes adding new Unicode emoji kinda useless haha.

ALOT.

I just hope they can be shared. I would love to build a library with clever emojis from others.

No, you'll have to pay for Discord Apple Nitro if you want to use custom emojis between servers iMessage threads

Can I create a custom emoji that allows me to install macOS on my iPad Pro? Oh, and a custom emoji that automatically creates new VisionPro content so that I can dust it off and use it?

 

[jonnysods]

Well, this will keep my kids busy for about 30 solid minutes!

 

[jmckenzie]

Could be a bad idea. Emojis are supposed to be word-like pictograms. They're supposed to convey meaning. Continual exposure to new one-time emojis is like people using made up words all the time. Makes them more like how we use gifs now.

 

[Supermallet]

This is brilliant. I can’t tell how many times I wanted to use an emoji that seemed like something you would expect to be available and it wasn’t.

This is essentially the new “Blue Message Bubble” for attracting people into the iOS ecosystem. Those images being images and not Unicode characters breaks cross platform applications, or at least makes them much harder.

Similar to google emogen in Gboard.

Gboard has the same feature on android. They need to create a standard to interpret generated nonstandard emojis at some point.

Alright screw it, this looks fun as hell

I know, right? I was thinking the same thing.

I can’t wait to test the limits of the puritan diffusion model they have powering this baby 😂

That eggplant is getting all the attention in the world if you catch my drift
