Apple released the first beta of iOS 16.4 this week with some notable new features, including the return of the new Home architecture update that was retired in December, web push notifications, and a change in how whose betas are installed. But most of the users will only care about the new emoji which will be available during the update.
After bringing the melting face, biting lip, jar, beans, and bubbles to the iPhone in iOS 15.4 last year, Apple is delivering 21 new designs and 31 variants with the next update. Here are the new designs for the first beta of iOS 16.4:
- Heart: Blue, pink, gray
- Smileys: trembling face
- Gesture: Hand pushing right and left with 5 skin tones each
- Animals: Donkey, moose, goose, wing, jellyfish
- Nature: Hyacinth, pea pod, ginger
- Items: Folding fan, hair stick, flute, maracas
- Symbols: baby, wireless
As this is the first beta version, the design above might change before the final version is released. As Emojipedia notes, Apple has added cream cheese to the bagel emoji and changed the shape and angle of the peach emoji in previous years.
