Apple users are making NSFW emojis with new Genmoji app – before it’s ‘banned’

Looks like we have some bad apples.

iPhone users are creating inappropriate emojis using Apple’s new Genmoji feature. AI’s emoji generator tool allows iPhone users to generate custom emojis using simple text prompts.

However, since the tool’s beta release, it appears the company may have underestimated the lengths to which users would go to push its limits, despite Apple’s built-in protection.

To create a Genmoji, iPhone users need to open the Messages app, tap the emoji icon, start typing a description in the text field, and then tap Create New Emoji.

After a few seconds, several options should appear waiting to be selected.

iPhone users have found success creating everything from guns to drugs and even suggestive eggplant emojis.

While some X-rated emojis required a bit of creativity to generate, others were surprisingly straightforward. For example, one user reported creating a realistic rifle by typing “hunting gear,” and another was able to generate a pistol by simply typing “weapon.”

This is particularly surprising given Apple’s history of censoring gun-related emojis, replacing the traditional firearm with a plastic water gun.

One of the most popular “hacks” involved creating suggestive eggplant emojis.

Bad users found that while entering “eggplant” resulted in an error message, the tool was happy to oblige when they used “eggplant” instead.

One user shared a picture of a Genmoji with the request “eggplant with water pouring out”, sparking a wave of similarly suggestive images on social media of eggplant and peach emojis being held, licked, eaten and slathered in juices and creams .

Other users also created emojis resembling cannabis leaves, condoms and even poppers.

Some users even took advantage of Genmoji to generate likenesses of public figures, including Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

One commenter predicted, “This will be censored soon, mark my words,” acknowledging that Apple may not tolerate the sudden flood of inappropriate emojis.

One Reddit user echoed the sentiment, “By the time the rest of us get access, this will be long gone if people post about it.”

Genmojis were recently released to a select few as part of Apple Intelligence, a new set of AI features launched with iOS 18.1.

The feature, like other Apple Intelligence features, is only available on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models, along with all iPhone 16 variants.

While the beta period gives Apple time to improve the tool, it also offers users a chance to continue testing its limits before release.
