How will we make emojis using Genmoji?

While the exact process may evolve before release, Apple has hinted at a user-friendly approach:

  1. Open a supported app with an emoji keyboard.
  2. Tap the Emoji key.
  3. Type a description of the emoji you want to create.
    Example: "Smiley relaxing wearing cucumbers"
  1. Tap a "Create New Emoji" or similar option.

Additionally, users may be able to create Genmoji based on photos of friends or family members, adding a personal touch to their custom emojis.
