iOS 26 lets you make custom Genmoji with ChatGPT and emoji

Apple's new iPhone operating system could seriously change the way you use emoji and Genmoji.

The tech giant announced and previewed iOS 26 on Monday during its highly anticipated keynote address at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). There was lots of news: a total redesign, new Maps tools, and new spam-blocking tools, to name a few.

Tucked into that waterfall of news was a big change to Genmoji and emoji. In short: You'll soon have more ability to customize your Genmoji with ChatGPT and by combining emoji.
