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 ('http://bdmonkeys.net/alac/BDM-Meta_Meat-17-Youre_Not_Helping.m4a')".

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.

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