Genmoji: A personal way to communicate
Genmoji is a brilliant addition to the Apple ecosystem.
It uses AI image generation technology for the specific purpose of letting users craft their own custom emojis.
Your phone, laptop or iPad does all the hard work which also makes it much faster and accessible.
There are limitations though as Apple has implemented guardrails preventing the creation of potentially harmful genmojis.
All you have to do ispoint your camera at something you want to learn about and smack the shutter.

How to use Image Playground
Philip Michaels here.
Let’s start with Image Playground, which is probably the feature people are most excited about.
In my experience, that took a couple of days.
Assessing Image Playground
I had the chance totest Image Playgroundas part of the iOS 18.2 beta.
I also wish you could do more with images once you’ve generated them.
With iOS 18.2, you’re able to now sort albums alphabetically.
You’re also able to flush the history in the Recently Viewed and Recently Shared albums.
Some tools are quite useful summaries for example while others need a bit more polish.
(I refer you to my Image Playground criticism from earlier.)
That was the focus of today’s installment ofOpenAI’s 12 days of announcements.
And we’ve got a look atwhat OpenAI had to say about ChatGPT and Siri.
