Every New Emoji Coming to Your iPhone in iOS 16.4

We’ll finally get to use one of the most sought-after emoji: a pink heart.

Your iPhone already has thousands of emoji, but you’ll soon get even more. With the release of the first iOS 16.4 beta, 31 fresh emoji designs will drop on iOS.

The new emoji include a shaking-head smiley, animals like a donkey, moose and a goose, and additional heart colors, including plain pink and light blue. The plain pink heart has been a long-sought emoji, according to Emojipedia, which named it one of the site’s top emoji requests in 2015. Last year’s significant emoji drop in iOS 15.4 included a melting face, a biting lip and a pregnant man, with 37 new designs in total.

New emoji to come to iPhones with the first iOS 16.4 developer beta — A moose, donkey and goose are some of the new emoji iPhone users might see soon.

Emojipedia

Emojipedia said the new emoji came from Unicode’s September 2022 recommendation list, Emoji 15.0.

There isn’t any word yet on when the new emoji will be available across iOS devices, and the designs of the new emoji might change between now and their final release on iOS.

Apple issued a handful of bug fixes and patches with the release of iOS 16.3.1 on Feb. 13, a few weeks after the release of new features in iOS 16.3 in January.
