Apple is expected to add a new Genmoji-related capability in iOS 27, according to reporting attributed to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Genmoji is an Apple Intelligence feature that generates new emoji characters using AI in response to text. While earlier versions of the feature have been described as inconsistent and resource-intensive, the reports say Apple has made adjustments so Genmoji generation no longer overheats devices or drains battery as much. In addition to those improvements, Gurman’s account describes a supplementary feature called “Suggested Genmoji.” Rather than requiring users to come up with ideas manually, the feature would automatically propose custom emoji based on inputs such as a user’s photo library and commonly typed phrases or keyboard history. The reporting further indicates the feature is optional and that iOS 27 includes a new toggle in Keyboard settings. One description says the toggle will specify that suggested Genmoji are created from photos and frequently typed phrases. iOS 27 is expected to be previewed at WWDC next month, with a public release anticipated in the fall.

Apple wants users to look again at their use of generative Genmoji in iOS 27, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Genmoji is an Apple Intelligence feature that lets you use AI to generate all-new emoji characters based on text input. All Genmoji generation happens directly on-device, but the feature has had a rocky run. Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman says that the generated images often looked nothing like Apple's polished marketing examples, and the underlying models were demanding enough to heat up iPhones and drain their batteries. Apple has apparently made some tweaks so that no longer happens, while also adding a new supplementary feature. "Suggested Genmoji" will reportedly offer you custom emoji ideas automatically based on your media and text history, rather than you having to think them up yourself. The feature is said to be optional in the next iPhone and iPad software update. Gurman says a new toggle in the Keyboard settings of iOS 27 reads: "Suggested Genmoji are created from your photos and your commonly typed phrases." iOS 27 will be previewed at WWDC next month, with a public release expected in the fall.Tags: Genmoji, Mark GurmanThis article, "'Suggested Genmoji' Are Coming to an iPhone Near You" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
