Nonetheless, because the tool’s beta release, it seems the corporate can have underestimated the lengths to which users would go to push its boundaries despite Apple’s built-in safeguard.
To create a Genmoji, iPhone users should open the messages app, tap on the emoji icon, begin typing an outline within the text field after which tap on “Create recent emoji.”
After a number of seconds, several options should appear waiting to be chosen.
iPhone users have found success in creating every little thing from guns to drugs, and even suggestive eggplant emojis.
While some X-rated emojis required a little bit creativity to generate, others were surprisingly straightforward. As an example, one user reported creating a practical rifle by typing “hunting gear,” and one other was capable of generate a handgun by simply entering “gun.”

This is particularly surprising given Apple’s history of censoring gun-related emojis, replacing the standard firearm with a plastic water pistol.
One of the popular “hacks” involved creating suggestive eggplant emojis.
Naughty users discovered that while entering “aubergine” resulted in an error message, the tool was pleased to oblige once they used “eggplant” as an alternative.
One user shared a screenshot of a Genmoji with the prompt “eggplant with water squirting out,” prompting a wave of similarly suggestive images on social media of eggplant and peach emojis being held, licked, eaten and doused in liquids and creams.
Other users also created emojis resembling cannabis leaves, condoms, and even poppers.
Some users even exploited Genmoji to generate likenesses of public figures, including Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
One commenter predicted, “This might be censored soon, mark my words,” acknowledging that Apple may not tolerate the unexpected flood of inappropriate emojis.
A Reddit user echoed the sentiment, “By the point the remainder of us get access, this might be long gone if people post about it.”
Genmojis was recently released to a select few as a component of the Apple Intelligence, a recent suite of AI features, launched with iOS 18.1.
The feature like other Apple Intelligence features, are only available on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models, together with all iPhone 16 variations.
While the beta period gives Apple time to refine the tool, it also offers users a likelihood to proceed testing its limits before the general public release.
