What Exactly Are Genmoji?

Genmoji are personalized emojis that you can create, letting your imagination run wild! With the help of Apple's advanced AI technology, you can describe any emoji you can dream up—whether it's a cheerful cat in a pirate hat or a disco-loving dinosaur—and Genmoji will generate it for you. Plus, you have the exciting option to create custom emojis of your friends and family, provided you have their photos saved in your library. Once you've crafted your unique Genmoji, they’re conveniently stored in your emoji keyboard, ready to be used in all of your favorite Apple apps, whether in messages, as stickers, or as Tapback reactions!

How to Create Your Own Genmoji

To get started with Genmoji, ensure your device is updated to iOS 18.2 or later and is compatible with Apple Intelligence. This includes all iPhone 16 models, iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, as well as select iPad models with the M1 chip or newer.

1. **Open the Typing Interface**: Start by opening a conversation in your messaging app and tapping in the text field to bring up the keyboard.

2. **Access the Emoji Functionality**: Tap on the smiley face or globe icon to access the emojis. Look for the vibrant smiley icon with a plus sign in the top right corner of the keyboard and tap it.

4. **Create Genmoji of People**: Want to create a Genmoji of a specific person? Make sure you’ve labeled them in your Photos app beforehand. After entering your description, choose the “Choose a Person” option above the text field.

5. **Refine Your Creation**: If the first attempt doesn’t capture your vision, don’t hesitate to tweak your description to fine-tune the results.
