When is Genmoji coming out?

Genmoji is one of the most highly anticipated Apple Intelligence features arriving to iOS 18. A portmanteau of “generative AI” and “emoji,” Genmoji allows you to create your own emoji with text prompts.

But the question is, when is Genmoji coming out?

As of this writing, Genmoji is currently available for testing via a beta version of iOS 18. We have a guide on how to use Genmoji, which includes steps on how to get on the Apple Intelligence waitlist — a necessary step for experimenters before accessing Genmoji. . In other words, Genmoji is testable, but it’s not quite ready for primetime.

When is Genmoji coming out?

As mentioned, you can test Genmoji right now on your iPhone by navigating to Settings > General > Software Update. Next, download the latest version of the iOS 18.2 beta.

You must be a part of the Apple Beta Software Program to access beta versions of iOS. (Make sure that you backup your iPhone, too, because beta versions are known to be a little rough around the edges.)

However, Genmoji has not yet been released to the public on a stable iOS version.

Genmoji is expected to officially roll out sometime in December. As we reported in mid-November, the exact date is reportedly Dec. 9. though Bloomberg Journalist Mark Gurman, a respected Apple insider, claims that the release date is Dec. 2.

Other image-based Apple Intelligence tools expected around the same time are Image Wand and Image Playground, designed to refine rough sketches into polished visuals and generate images from text prompts, respectively.

For iPhone users, Apple Intelligence is only available for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models, as well as the entire iPhone 16 line.
