Apple wants users to reexamine their use of the generative Genmoji in iOS 27, according to BloombergIt’s Mark Gurman. Genmoji is an Apple Intelligence feature that lets you use AI to generate brand new emoji characters based on text input. The entire generation of Genmoji happens directly on the device, but the feature has had a rocky ride. In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman claims that the images generated often looked nothing like Apple’s polished marketing examples, and that the underlying models were demanding enough to heat up iPhones and drain their batteries. Apple has apparently made some changes to make this no longer happen, while also adding an additional new feature. “Suggested Genmoji” will automatically suggest personalized emoji ideas based on your media and text history, rather than having to come up with them yourself. The feature would be optional in the next software update for iPhone and iPad. Gurman says a new toggle in iOS 27’s keyboard settings says: “Suggested Genmoji are created from your photos and commonly typed phrases.” iOS 27 will be previewed at WWDC next month, with a public release expected in the fall.
