IPHONE owners have come up with rude uses for a new feature tipped to land on the smartphone later this year.
Apple is reportedly working on a new AI tool that allows users to create their own emoji.
Instead of relying on the huge list of existing emoji, the upcoming iOS 18 update may be able to generate a completely new one “based on what users are texting” according to Bloomberg.
The rumour has sent iPhone owners wild on social media with all sorts of naughty suggestions, such as rude body parts.
“This going to get out of hand,” one user wrote on X, while another said Apple has “opened Pandora’s box with this one”.
“Sexting is about to go crazy,” a third added.
“Dear god this won’t end well,” a fourth said.
Others were quick to point out that Android has already had a similar feature for years, accusing Apple of being “late to the party”.
However, Android’s version is quite limited only blending existing emoji – and hasn’t been shown to create an overly rude variants.
Apple is in a rush to catch up on the AI front after a surge in advanced tech from ChatGPT owner OpenAI, Google‘s Gemini and Samsung.
The tech giant is rumoured to be close to signing a deal with OpenAI to bring iOS up to speed on the AI front.
iPhone voice assistant Siri could be in line for a much-needed upgrade.
Apple is due to host a big event on June 10 where the company is expected to reveal all its plans.
Another major change that’s not AI related could see a revamp to the iPhone home screen.
It’s reported that users will have the option to change the colour of app icons.
And iPhone owners may have a little more freedom about how they arrange their home screen too, allowing people to place apps where they like rather than in a standard grid.
Here are some of the best...
