Genmoji is not available on iPhone 15 Pro after iOS 18.2 update

It takes a while for Apple to onboard your device after you have updated to 18.2

Your voice and your Siri voice have to be the same such as United States English or AI does not fully load

From your emoji keyboard there should be a button next to the search field.

Didn’t work

Worked! Thank you!🙏🏾

Doesn’t help. No playground or genmoji on a 15pro after 18.2 update. I’m in the EU.

The EU isn't getting Apple Intelligence until April 2025. Assuming your phone wasn't manufactured for China (in Settings > General > About > Model - China models end in CH/A), you can still use Apple Intelligence, but you have to set your language and Siri language to a supported language.

See this --> How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support (CA)

You haven't told us if your phone is signed in to Apple Intelligence? Do you qualify for Apple Intelligence and have met all the qualifications as detailed in this link --> How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support

not use why

I found out that I had to change Siri voice to be the same English as my phone settings. My Siri was set to Irish female and my phone language was English (US). After correcting this it worked.

Thenks

1. Make sure your iPhone and Siri are set to the same language (good example is English (UK) is not the same as English (US)).
2. Make sure that support for Apple Intelligence is dowloaded (some time and a restart might be needed after #1 and #2).

And the model number, please? I'm not looking for iPhone 16. In Settings > General > About > Model, it will say something like MYW93LL/A. I'm asking because if by chance your phone ends in CH/A, that would be an iPhone manufactured for the China Market and that would mean the phone cannot get Apple Intelligence until it is approved in China.

I don't what you mean by removed? If you are signed into Apple Intelligence, the switch will be turned on (green) in Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri > Apple Intelligence

Genmoji is part of Apple Intelligence. In order to get Genmoji, you have to be signed into Apple Intelligence.

Had the same problem, Genmoji button appeared in other apps but not in Messages. Fix was Settings > General > Keyboard, under EMOJI make sure Stickers is toggled on.
