i dont agree at all. image generation feels very odd for Apple.

and usually they don't care about glaring omissions like this, either: iPadOS was lacking a calculator for yeeeeaaaars.

they repeatedly said they'd ship a calculator if they can do something special for its introduction, and only then.

so why did they lose their hesitancy to ship mediocre stuff here?

That's true, good point. Maybe they just wanted it for the memoji/iMessage possibilities?

[merlindru]

Probably. It just feels so out of character. Especially the fact that it can't be safeguarded and generate sexual innuendos, for example, which Apple usually hates.

I'm not even entirely against genmoji. It's just odd for Apple to do.
