Apple updates Messages app with new features in iOS 18.2

9to5mac.com — December 13, 2024 at 10:00 PM UTC

Apple has released iOS 18.2, introducing new features to the Messages app. A key addition is Genmoji, allowing users to create custom emojis directly from the emoji keyboard. These can be sent in messages or used as tapbacks. Another new feature is Image Playground, which enables users to create original images using AI. This tool is integrated into Messages and allows for various styles, including animation and illustration, enhancing the way users share visuals. Additionally, the writing tools have been upgraded. Users can now refine their messages by describing changes they want, and a new Compose tool can generate text from scratch. However, these features require an AI-compatible iPhone and are not available in the EU or China.
