Huzzah! I finally got one!

So Apple, where is 18.3 Beta 1? j/k. The wait for this one was fun, off the beta train for a little bit, see you back in Jan!
There have been glitches since the first iOS version and there will be also glitches in the feature. When do you guys learn that it's impossible to develop a bug free operating systems?
Maybe after the public next week. Friday seedling is unusual.
Note how little changed from Beta 4, same Darwin date, TV/Music unchanged, system FW minor version change, same with Safari. Apple really had this pretty much wrapped up back on Nov 20th, just waiting for feedback on Beta 4 before releasing all the RCs today. They must have been laughing at the Apple OS releases forums for a while.

Have any of you been able to use Genmoji? I don’t see it anywhere in the messages app when launching the emoji keyboard. I did enable image playground and was able to use that but no sign of genmoji. I also enabled ChatGPT integration. Did you guys log in with your personal ChatGPT accounts or kept the iOS/ChatGPT integration logged out as anonymous?
18.2 RC running smoothly so far! We might get 18.3 beta 1 tomorrow! I’m thinking early next week is probably more likely, but if they stick with the trend for all of the previous iOS 18 betas, then the first beta for 18.3 would come out sometime this week, with tomorrow being the most likely drop date.
@gwhizkids, leave me alone man, unicorn hunting is a noble and time-honored sport… 😂👍🏻🦄

Hey, I’m officially as accurate as Mark Gurman!!! I just predicted the release every day of the week until I got it right… 😂🤣
Not sure I’m going to be able to stop laughing at that one.
Quick, Tim! Get on the Ark before it's too late!
I managed to enable genmoji if any of you have the same issue, enable stickers under keyboard settings is what solved it.
You need to have stickers enabled. Last option on the keyboard settings screen
And now there's a tsunami warning for the Bay Area 😭
As far as the chatGPT Integration, did you sign in with your account or kept it not signed in?
So peaceful in this thread now. All is well. Until 18.3 beta shows next week maybe.
Did the guys that pre-order Androids canceled their orders?
