Every New Emoji Coming to Your iPhone With iOS 16.4

These emoji and the latest update could land any day now.

Your iPhone already has thousands of emoji, but you’ll soon get even more. The first iOS 16.4 beta included 31 new iPhone emoji that beta testers could use, and as soon as iOS 16.4 releases to the public, others will be able to use, too.

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.

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.

This Phone for Kids Will Block the Capture of Nude Content From Within the Camera

The HMD Fuse uses AI to prevent children from seeing, saving, sending or filming sexual content. The company says it’s impossible to bypass.

Among the biggest concerns of parents whose kids own a smartphone must surely be the knowledge that there’s a whole bunch of nude content out there on the internet for them to stumble across. Likely more worrying still is the thought that their precious offspring may be tempted to make such content themselves.

Finnish phone-maker HMD has been on a mission for the past few years to make phone ownership a safer prospect for children via its Better Phones Project — and it might have come up with a solution to calm the nerves of concerned parents. 

On Wednesday, the company unveiled the HMD Fuse phone, which comes with built-in AI-powered technology to prevent children from filming and sending nude content, as well as from seeing and saving sexual images — even from within a livestream.

«This is more than a product,» said James Robinson, vice president of HMD Family. «It’s a safety net, a statement of intent and a response.» 

The AI (called HarmBlock Plus) was created by cybersecurity SafeToNet and is embedded into the phone (including the camera), which, according to HMD, makes it impossible to bypass. It’s apparently been ethically trained on 22 million harmful nude images and works offline.

«HarmBlock Plus can’t be removed, tricked, or worked around,» said SafeToNet founder Richard Pursey. «It doesn’t collect personal data. It just protects every time, across every app, including VPNs, with zero loopholes.»

Parental controls, similar to those available on the Fusion X1, which HMD introduced at MWC in March, will also allow for supervision and management of a child’s phone use. This can be scaled back as a kid grows older and requires more independence.

The phone is launching exclusively on Vodafone in the UK, where the recent introduction of the Online Safety Act means strict age verification rules are now required to prevent minors from accessing harmful content online.

It will cost £33 per month, with a £30 up-front fee and is set to launch in other countries in the coming months, starting with Australia. There’s no indication the Fuse will be headed to the US, where the company has, in the past few months, scaled back its operations.

The James Webb Space Telescope Finds New Moon Orbiting Uranus

For now, the tiny new moon has a clunky name, but if it passes peer review, they might call it something better.

No joke: Science has found a new teeny, tiny moon orbiting Uranus. NASA announced on Tuesday that the James Webb Space Telescope found yet another moon floating around Uranus, an ice giant that already had 13 other known moons. 

The discovery was made thanks to images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. A team from the Southwest Research Institute noticed an unfamiliar object that appeared to be orbiting Uranus. The images have been stitched together in a slideshow on YouTube of the moon, which orbits much closer to Uranus than the planet’s 13 other known moons. 

«This object was spotted in a series of 10 40-minute long-exposure images captured by the Near-Infrared Camera,» said lead scientist Maryame El Moutamid. «It’s a small moon but a significant discovery, which is something even NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft didn’t see during its flyby nearly 40 years ago.»

In terms of size, this moon is indeed small at around six miles in diameter. For reference, Earth’s moon is 2,159 miles in diameter, and the largest moon in our solar system, Jupiter’s Ganymede, is 3,270 miles. The moon also has a circular orbit, per the SwRI team, meaning that it likely formed in the same area where it currently orbits. 

Better name TBA

Despite obtaining a 14th moon, which NASA is calling S/2025 U1, Uranus has a long way to go to compete with Jupiter and Saturn, which have 95 and 274 confirmed moons, respectively. However, Uranus is the king of tiny moons. 

«No other planet has as many small inner moons as Uranus,» said Matthew Tiscareno, research member of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California. Since S/2025 U1 is so much smaller than the known moons, Tiscareno posits that there may be even more small moons drifting around that have yet to be discovered. 

NASA does note that this research hasn’t been peer-reviewed yet, so the for-now clunkily named S/2025 U1 may still be dismissed as a non-moon. However, if it is confirmed, the moon will receive a better (we hope) name from the International Astronomical Union and become completely official.
