How To Fix Missing Genmoji Icon on MacBook Air M3

Select Language:

If you’re using a MacBook Air with the M3 chip running the latest iOS 26 and you can’t find the Genmoji icon anywhere on your device, don’t worry—here’s how you can troubleshoot and fix the issue.

First, double-check the search bar or the keyboard itself. The Genmoji icon is typically found near the emoji or keyboard options, but with updates, its position may have changed or the icon might not appear by default.

Ensure that your device is fully updated. Sometimes, new updates include bug fixes or changes to keyboard features. Go to System Settings > Software Update and make sure you’re on the latest version.

Next, check your keyboard settings. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard. Make sure that Emoji is enabled. If your device supports custom keyboards or third-party emoji keyboards, verify they are properly installed and activated.

If you cannot find the Genmoji icon, try manually opening the emoji keyboard. Press the globe or smiley face icon on your keyboard to switch to emojis. Sometimes, the Genmoji options are integrated into the standard emoji selection.

Additionally, restart your device. A simple restart can resolve minor glitches that might prevent certain icons from showing.

If after these steps you still can’t find the Genmoji icon, consider resetting your keyboard settings. To do this, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary. Keep in mind this will erase any custom words you’ve added.

Finally, if the problem persists, check online forums or contact Apple Support. There might be a known issue or a specific fix related to your device model and software version.

By following these steps, you should be able to locate or restore the Genmoji icon on your MacBook Air. Remember, software updates can sometimes change how features appear, so staying current and exploring your keyboard options is key.
