Emoji is the script of our times. Cynics might say we've reverted to expressing thoughts with pictograms, but let's be honest: images enhance the emotional value of statements and sometimes allow us to shorten response times significantly. I won't answer the question, "What will I do with the three seconds I've saved?" The point is that I'm ahead when I send a red heart instead of typing "okay."

Considering their popularity, emojis have grown in number year after year. Users have even asked developers to create specific emojis: a notably symbolic request was the burning desire of iPhone users to include a simple pink heart, which they were long deprived of.

The catalogue of iPhone emojis includes various images, from a simple tortilla chip to a body sponge, a razor, a floppy disk, or a fuel pump. However, despite the broad selection, we often can't find the perfect emoji to convey our message. That's when AI and the announced iOS update come into play.

A Bloomberg report indicates that the latest operating system for iPhones will feature generative AI that will create new emojis based on what users are currently typing. It's unclear how advanced the tool will be, but it seems an innovative and exciting addition, even for everyday smartphone use. In addition to custom-generated emojis, iPhone users can access the standard catalogue.
