How to Customize Emojis on iPhone with Apple Intelligence

The Emoji Evolution : The evolution of emojis has been extensive, from still faces to animated expressions. With iOS 18, Apple introduces a pioneering custom emoji-making machine called Genmoji. Panda with shades? Your buddy’s face on a pirate? Anything you can imagine becomes an emoji in seconds.

Getting Started : To access Genmoji, make sure your iPhone is upgraded to iOS 18.1 or above. Genmoji is only compatible on iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max, and above models. Go to Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri and click on “Get Apple Intelligence.” Your language and Siri settings should be the same for it to work smoothly.

Enter the Genmoji World : Open the Messages app and touch the emoji icon. In the search field, enter a playful description such as “cat drinking coffee” or “wizard turtle.” Apple Intelligence conjures up a new emoji that matches your text in an instant. It’s quick, playful, and unlocks boundless expressive potential for messaging and communication.

Photo-Based Genmoji : Need a Genmoji to resemble someone? Upload their pic! Apple Intelligence creates a unique emoji based on their looks. It’s great for birthdays, inside humor, or expressing affection. Add moods or accessories to set the tone. Now your buddy literally can be the dancing queen emoji.

Sharing the Fun : Your Genmoji is more than an emoji—more like a sticker, a Tapback reply, and a chat sensation. Send it via texts, append it to images, or place it in social media stories. Each Genmoji is personal and one-of-a-kind, bringing that flair that plain emojis could never do. Your messages, revolutionized.

Creativity Without Limits : Apple Intelligence knows context and emotion, so you can type “excited astronaut with balloons” and receive an emoji overflowing with charm. It combines AI magic with Apple design flair. Whatever your mood—poetic, silly, or dramatic—Genmoji gets it in a small digital work of art you’ll want to share.

The Future of Expression : With Genmoji, Apple is not only improving communication—it’s personalizing it. From personalized characters to personalized reactions, your iPhone now talks your emoji language. It’s the beginning of a new age of digital expression, where every message speaks a language only you could dream up and craft.
