Genmoji Coming to Mac with macOS Sequoia 15.3 beta

Apple recently introduced Genmoji in iOS 18.2, which allows iPhone and iPad users to create their own emoji using Apple Intelligence. While the feature wasn't included in the macOS 15.2 update, Genmoji is now available on the Mac with the first beta of macOS Sequoia 15.3.

macOS 15.3 beta 1 adds Genmoji to the Mac

As confirmed by 9to5Mac, macOS 15.3 beta 1, which was released to developers on Monday, finally includes Genmoji for Mac users. The button to create a new Genmoji can be found in the macOS emoji picker. Users can describe the emoji they want to create, and then Apple Intelligence will turn the words into Genmoji. You can try almost anything.

Genmojis are generated on the device, which means they only work on iPhones, iPads, and now Macs that are compatible with Apple Intelligence. That means iPhone 15 Pro or later, or iPads and Macs with an M1 chip or later (also works with the iPad mini 7).

Aside from that, today's beta updates don't appear to bring any other significant new features. Apple has yet to introduce several other Apple Intelligence features, such as priority notifications and contextual Siri. However, they are expected to arrive in April next year with iOS 18.4 and macOS 15.4.

Both iOS 18.3 and macOS 15.3 are now available as beta software for developers. The updates will likely be released to the general public between January and February 2025.
