I think what irritates people are that they are dealing with annoying iOS bugs, and the new iOS updates are headlined with new emojis instead of specific bug fixes (if any) 😂

Well, perhaps they should complain that their parents did not raise them to code an OS instead of whining that these security and software issues aren’t fixed by graphic designers.

As Apple was announcing new iPhone models last week, the Unicode Consortium was officially approving new emoji characters that are set to be added to smartphones starting in 2024.

Approved Unicode 15.1 emoji include phoenix, lime, an edible mushroom, shaking head vertically (as in a "yes" nod), shaking head horizontally (a "no" head shake), and broken chain.

There are four new family emoji combinations, along with updates to six people emoji that now have direction specifications such as facing right or facing left. The direction options can be used with person walking, person running, person kneeling, person with white cane, person in manual wheelchair, and person in motorized wheelchair.

Unicode updates often include quite a few emoji characters, so the 15.1 update is smaller in scale than a typical year. Unicode 15.1 does, however, add a number of new non-emoji characters for use in China.

Following the approval of new emoji characters, it takes smartphone makers like Apple several months to design artwork for the emoji and add them to iOS. We can expect to see the emoji updates in a future version of iOS 17.

Last year, Apple added new emoji to the iOS 16.4 update that was released in February 2023, so the company might follow a similar timeline in 2024. Last year's emoji additions included shaking face, pink heart, light blue heart, donkey, moose, goose, wing, jellyfish, hyacinth, pea pod, ginger, flute, maracas, and black bird.

Wow. The innovation!!!
 
"You can't even tell, need emoji" - Rendezvous by Social Club Misfits

Thousands of years after Egyptian hieroglyphics we are coming back to the same language...
 
Honestly there are some everyday items and animals that I often search for with no result...
But I guess a Pohenix was much more important to make.
 
I don’t want to sound like an alarmist but as a civilisation we are at a point where we make most of our communication today using emoji and then worry that we need AI when we have to write something basic like an email.
 
PLEASE, let the emojis “keyboard” be larger!!! As they are they are impossible to distinguish because they are super tiny!!!
Also, please make 2 Sets of emojis: “most used by humans” and “used by 0.0001% of the time, usually by mistake of just for trolling”. No need to have an endless selection of cryptic symbols in the main emojis section.
That is quality of life improvement!!!!!! So hard? Emojis keyboard 1 and emojis keyboard 2 and 3. Pretty please, before iOS 35?
 
Can't wait for the Moltres emoji! Now the real question is will ios 18 get a Zapdos or Articuno emoji. ;)

Apple doesn't 'have' to adopt them.
It's just emojis! Doubtful that everyone uses the majority of them.
What 'serious software bugs' can occur by not including or using them?

Yes they absolutely do have to adopt them. Not adhering to Unicode standards can be a serious mess on any modern OS.

A ton of different API's rely on the fact that people adopt these standards and the bugs can be immeasurable.
 
You know how many times I wished there were a lime emoji? More than you can count.

But this is definitely not it. Sure, there’s a lemon emoji, and it’s a full fruit, and that’s fine. But, I’m willing to wager when people think of lime, they actually think of a lime wedge. And that’s the emoji I want. Disappointed.
