Unlock the Magic of Genmoji: Create Personalized Emojis with Ease

Emojis have come a long way since their inception, but sometimes the default options simply aren’t enough to express what you’re feeling. Enter Apple’s Genmoji—a groundbreaking feature that lets you create custom emojis tailored to your imagination.

Thanks to Apple Intelligence, users can now generate unique emojis by simply typing a description or using an image from their Photos library. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you bring your personalized emojis to life.

Getting Started with Genmoji

Before diving in, you need to ensure you have access to Apple Intelligence and the necessary updates. Genmoji is available with iOS 18.2 and later. To check your iPhone’s software version, go to Settings > General > About. If you’re not up to date, back up your device and install the latest software version.

Once updated, make sure Apple Intelligence is enabled. Navigate to Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri and toggle the feature on. Note that Apple Intelligence is supported only on select devices, such as the iPhone 16 range, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Creating Your Genmoji

Follow these simple steps to start crafting your own emojis:

  1. Open a Messages window and tap on the emoji icon (smiley face) or keyboard icon (globe) to access the emoji keyboard.
  2. In the upper right-hand corner, tap on the Genmoji icon (a pink and blue smiley face with a plus sign).
  3. Type a description in the text box that captures the emoji you want to create and tap Done.
  4. Swipe through the generated Genmojis and tap Add on the one that fits best. It will be saved in your emoji drawer for future use.

For an extra layer of customization, you can create Genmojis based on images of people from your Photos app. For example, type “Julian celebrating his birthday,” select the relevant contact, and let Genmoji generate options based on this prompt.

Fine-Tuning Your Genmoji

If you want to tweak a Genmoji to make it even more specific, you can refine your original prompt:

  1. Open the Genmoji window and tap on the text box.
  2. Modify the description or enter an entirely new one. For example, change “cat with a party hat” to “cat with balloons.”
  3. The updated prompt will generate new variations to choose from.

Pro tip: Experiment with different prompts to unlock the full creative potential of Genmoji!

Deleting or Rearranging Genmojis

If you no longer need a particular Genmoji or want to organize your library, follow these steps:

  1. Open the emoji drawer in the Messages app.
  2. Find the Genmoji you want to delete and long-press on it.
  3. Tap Delete or choose Rearrange to move it within your library.

Keep in mind that Genmoji is still in beta, so occasional glitches may occur. However, the feature offers a glimpse into the future of personalized digital expression.
