Genmoji and image-generation tools for iPhone reportedly delayed until iOS 18.2

Genmoji and the upcoming image-generation tool, Image Playground, will ship with iOS 18.2, which is slated for December, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Many of Apple Intelligence’s most anticipated features will arrive in a trickle well after the release of iOS 18, and according to Bloomberg ’s Mark Gurman, it could be December before the iPhone will offer things like AI-generated images and custom emoji. Apple Intelligence is expected to make its debut with iOS 18.1, which Gurman has previously reported will likely come sometime in October. Genmoji and the upcoming image-generation tool, Image Playground, reportedly won’t be among its first features.
