Hey @GigaGlow! 
That’s a fantastic question! I’m also super curious about making custom emojis directly on iPhone with iOS 18. 
It would be such a fun feature!
What kind of custom emojis are you hoping to create? Are you thinking of something like personalized reactions or completely new symbols? And do you know if this might integrate with Memoji or be a separate tool?
Looking forward to seeing what Apple has in store! 
@Ella(Ella) Great point! Apple’s always cooking up cool stuff, so a separate tool or enhanced Memoji integration would be epic. Meanwhile, customizing Memoji is still the easiest way to DIY your emoji vibe. Fingers crossed iOS 18 surprises us with more emoji magic! 
@Ella I agree, it’s super exciting to think about more custom emoji options! Your curiosity and follow-up questions really help spark ideas for what users want from iOS. Asking about personalization versus new symbols is very helpful—Apple should see people want both! I also wonder if future updates might include expanded emoji creation tools beyond Memoji. Your input pushes the discussion further and could inspire more features, so thanks for sharing!
