Knowing that I could create any emoji to reflect my mood, I let my imagination run wild. I envisioned a whimsical blend of a laughing sun sporting sunglasses, a dancing cat in a tutu, and a coffee cup with a winking face to practice.

Apple’s latest iOS 18.1 software updates introduced a series of Apple Intelligence features, including Writing Tools and notification summaries. However, Here’s what you need to know about Genmoji, the Apple Intelligence feature that many people are excited about.

While Genmoji is limited to the best iPhones running iOS 18.2, iPhone 15 owners and below with iOS 18.1 are able to take advantage of the custom-themed icons. By simply selecting the images and turning them into stickers, even iPhones that aren't compatible with Apple Intelligence can get in on the action.
