How to ask Siri to make a Genmoji
Quick answer
On Apple Intelligence–capable devices, open the emoji keyboard, tap Genmoji, and describe what you want ("a cat in a party hat"). Genmoji is created from your description and can be used inline like an emoji. This is a newer feature and availability varies by device and region.
Say this
“a smiling cat wearing a party hat”
How it works
- 01Open Messages (or any text field) and bring up the emoji keyboard.
- 02Tap the Genmoji button and type a description.
- 03Pick from the generated options and add it to your message.
- 04You can base a Genmoji on a person from your photo library.
