On the New Genmoji screen, give it a moment. You'll see an amorphous blob begin to transform based on your description, eventually solidifying into your custom emoji!

Step 6: Preview Alternatives

Once your initial emoji appears, swipe left on it to explore different variations and interpretations of your description. You might be surprised by the options!

Step 7: Customize & Save

Tap the ellipsis (three dots) button associated with your chosen Genmoji. This will give you options to:

1. Add a caption: Give your Genmoji a short description.
2. Save as Sticker: Save it for easy access in your sticker drawer.
3. Send Feedback: Use the thumbs up or thumbs down icons to provide feedback to Apple about the generated emoji.

Step 8: Add & Send
