Genmoji,Japan Archives one of the most intriguing Apple Intelligence features, isn't available on iPhone 16 yet, but we just got a sneak peek at how it works.

Spotted by TechRadar, Apple updated its iPadOS 18 info page with some tips about Apple Intelligence features that are coming to its device ecosystem starting later this year. Of particular interest is Genmoji, AI-generated emoji that users can create on the fly for use in text conversations and whatnot.

Again, this feature isn't available as of this writing, but the new page gives a pretty succinct explanation of how it will work.

"You’ll be able to create original Genmoji in supported apps with an emoji keyboard," Apple's website said. "Just tap the emoji icon, type a description of the image you want—'Golden Retriever catching the best wave ever,' for example—then tap 'Create New Emoji."

So, in essence, the Genmoji feature works like any other consumer-facing generative AI product. You type what you want to see, hit a button, and then a few seconds later, you see what you want to see. However, again, this feature isn't available to the public yet. Expect to see it sometime closer to the end of the year when iOS 18.2 launches.
