Apple will announce new features for Apple Intelligence at the WWDC 2025 event, which will start on June 9. The most striking innovation is the ability to create new Genmoji by combining two different emojis.
A new way for Genmoji: emoji merging and translation features are coming
The new Genmoji feature allows users to create unique characters by combining existing standard emojis. It will be possible to create a single Genmoji showing the basketball going into the trash can by combining the basketball and trash can emojis.
iOS 26 also brings with it the renewed Shortcuts app, powered by Apple Intelligence. The app will offer more powerful automation options with artificial intelligence support. In addition, the system will optimize users’ battery management with a new battery mode powered by AI. The new feature, especially for Genmoji, is intriguing.
Translation features are becoming available system-wide in iOS 26. The live translation feature, which was previously only stated to come to the Messages app, is also expanding to the Phone app and other areas of the operating system. A live translation feature is also expected for AirPods.
Apple’s personalized Siri features are not ready yet. These features are still considered “far away” and no major Siri updates will be announced at WWDC 2025. Users will have to wait longer for the advanced Siri capabilities that they have been eagerly waiting for.
The Swift Assist coding help tool, announced at WWDC 2024 last year, has encountered problems. Instead, Apple plans to allow developers to use Xcode with third-party large language models (LLMs). This change marks a significant shift in Apple’s coding tools strategy.
Apple Intelligence features focus on improving the user experience as part of the company’s work in the field of artificial intelligence. The Genmoji fusion feature is one of the standout innovations in terms of creativity and personalization.
System-wide translation support in iOS 26 demonstrates Apple’s approach to overcoming language barriers. This feature will provide great convenience for users who communicate in different languages.
These updates, which will be announced at WWDC 2025, reveal how Apple integrates AI technologies into its existing products. The company focuses on improving the existing experience rather than making major revolutionary changes.
The event will begin on Monday, June 9, and detailed information about Apple’s future plans will be shared. iOS 26 and other operating system updates will also be introduced at the event.
