What is Newji?
Newji is an AI-powered iOS app that transforms any idea, object, or description into a custom emoji. Users enter simple or detailed prompts like 'flaming cannonball,' 'pizza rat,' or 'lizard candle,' and the app generates unique emoji stickers instantly. The app is exclusive to iOS and integrates directly with iMessage for easy use in conversations.
Key features include creating custom group chat icons, making stickers for Discord servers, generating inside jokes directly from iMessage, and even competing with friends to create the best hybrid emojis (like a snake-hamster). The app comes with 30 free coins by default, and each new emoji creation consumes one coin. Generated emojis can be saved as images or used as stickers in iMessage.
Newji is designed for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Vision users who want to personalize their digital communication with unique, personalized emojis. It's perfect for casual users who enjoy creative expression, Discord server moderators looking for custom stickers, group chat participants wanting unique icons, and anyone who wants to add humor and personality to their messages without drawing skills.

Frequently asked questions about Newji
How do I create an emoji with Newji?
Enter your desired emoji's appearance in the 'anything' section on the first screen. Keep it straightforward - something like 'flaming cannonball' works well. Scroll the screen to see your created emojis along with details on how to use them in iMessage.
How many free coins do I get with Newji?
By default, the app comes with 30 coins when you first download it. Each new emoji you create uses one coin.
How do I use my Newji emoji in iMessage?
Toggle the plus button in iMessage next to the input bar for the keyboard. Choose Sticker, then locate and press the Newji symbol. Apply the emoji you made to your message.
Can I save my Newji emoji as an image?
Yes, the emoji you make can be saved as an image to your photo roll.
Does Newji require a subscription?
No, there are no subscriptions. The app is free with removed ads, and only offers simple one-time payments for credit packs to support the work.
What devices support Newji?
Newji requires iOS 17.0 or later for iPhone, iPadOS 17.0 or later for iPad, macOS 14.0 or later with Apple M1 chip for Mac, and visionOS 1.0 or later for Apple Vision.
Can I create stickers for Discord with Newji?
Yes, you can make new stickers for your Discord server using Newji. Save the emoji to your photo roll, then go to the Photos app, use the isolate subject feature, and tap add sticker.
What happens if I accidentally generate the same prompt again?
Unfortunately, it would be a waste and you would lose a coin. Users have requested a feature to delete unwanted emojis to recover coins, but this feature is not currently available.
Can I search for existing emojis created by others?
No, you cannot search the existing emoji database. If someone else has already made an emoji like 'hobbit house,' you cannot search for and use that existing sticker - you need to create your own.
Why does my complex prompt not work well?
The AI struggles with anything even remotely descriptive. Only simple prompts work reliably, like a dog breed such as 'poodle.' If you want a poodle with specific features or accessories, the AI probably won't give you that - it may just generate the accessory without the poodle at all.
