According to a new report published today, one of the new “standout AI features” will be the ability to use artificial intelligence to “create your own emoji.”

One of the standout features is the use of generative artificial intelligence for emoji. The company is developing software that can create custom emojis on the fly based on what users send in text messages. This means that you'll suddenly have a whole new emoji for every occasion, beyond the catalog of options that Apple currently offers on the iPhone and other devices.
Apple adds new emoji to the iPhone every year with iOS updates. For example, in March, iOS 17.4 added several new emoji characters to the iPhone. This new “generative artificial intelligence” feature will supposedly mean that users will no longer have to wait for annual updates to unlock additional emoji customizations.
Also in today's newsletter, Gurman writes that iOS 18 will allow users to recolor app icons to customize their home screen. The update is also expected to allow users to more freely arrange app icons and widgets on the home screen, rather than being limited by the current fixed grid.
