During the WWDC 2024 keynote, Apple previewed iOS 18‘s Genmoji, which is part of its Apple Intelligence features that will be released later this year. With this function, iPhone users will use AI to generate new emoji characters based on text input, such as “T-rex wearing a tutu on a surfboard.”
What makes Genmoji in iOS 18 unique is that Apple designed an API to make them work like stickers and Memoji and behave like emojis. With the new NSAdaptiveimageGlyph API, developers can easily integrate Genmoji into their apps.
To ensure users have the best experience possible, Apple is redesigning the emoji...

Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe. But they will make negative remarks about you to someone else. What other traits do two-faced people have?

Apple confirmed during the WWDC 2024 main keynote what many people had suspected: iOS 18 will bring official RCS support to the iPhone. Many Android users have wanted this feature for years, which is why Google and other rivals have been running massive ad campaigns against Apple.
Apple didn’t say when it’ll enable RCS on iPhone. Most people running iOS 18 beta 1 did not see RCS support in the Messages app. I installed iOS 18 as soon as it came out, and my text messages to non-iPhone users are still marked as SMS. Interestingly, however, some users have found a...

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.

RCS is a messaging protocol that uses the internet to let you send and receive files and high-quality images, see typing indicators, get read receipts, start group chats and more. Until now, iPhone users could only send SMS or MMS messages from the Messages app to people who didn’t have an Apple device — you could share media, get read receipts and use other features only with other Apple device users via iMessage. With this update, iPhone users can start texting and sharing files with anyone who uses a device that supports RCS, which includes most Android phones.

Apple finally adds support for RCS in latest iOS 18 beta

If you want to get a taste of Apple's iOS 18, it is already available as an early Developer Beta. As an early adopter, I have been burned many times by trying the latest beta software on technology products. Bugs are rampant, features are broken, and it is a mix of excitement and frustration. Therefore, I save these risky actions for only when there are significant changes afoot that make it worthwhile.
