iOS 16.4 Beta Adds New Emoji Like Donkey, Jellyfish, Pink Heart, Hyacinth, Ginger, Goose, Shaking Face and More

God this thread is ridiculous.

"HomePods are going to trash. Who is in charge here?"

Do you think graphics designers are responsible for HomePod firmware? If you do, you don't get to have an opinion on this subject.

"What's the point in these?"

Conforming to Unicode standards. You'd be the first to whine when someone sends you a message and you just get a blank square because your phone doesn't support modern Unicode standards.

Jesus christ people.

Y’all don’t know how long I’ve waited for a jellyfish emoji

 

[slamtennis]

Is that supposed to be a “talk to the hand” sassy emoji? What is that last one?

 

[hovscorpion12]

Can't wait to start using the "talk to the hand"

designers should make sure the microphone yellow dot on the 14 pro lineup does not get pushed to the left side of the battery icon while on a phone call but stay in the dynamic island, before they waste time with emojis. And remember that at Apple designers have had a say over engineers for a very, very long time.
Look at the charging port on the mouse and the ultra thin MacBook pros of the last 5 years that had to run throttled at 25 mhz to avoid burning down your desk.

So we can finally do this...

🪣

No! It's pronounced 💐 !

Guys…..guys. These are set by Unicode consortium. Not Apple. It would be a standard and simple update to get a design drawn, approved and uploaded vs a bug fix.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is an intern teams job.

 

[MacWiz_007]

So this is what Apple is putting their billions into! 🤣

Seems like it’s a lengthy process and a lot of thoughts go behind it. Check this out!

What's New in Unicode 15.0

The latest emoji list drafted by the Unicode Consortium is due for formal approval today, with new emojis including a Goose, a Hyacinth, a Shaking Face, and a plain Pink Heart.

As usual, Apple does not decide on which emojis to include. And people working on Mac hardware do not design these emojis.

I'd love to know what important thing you want an emoji artist working on.

I was joking.

 

[surfzen21]

What’s the point of these exactly, there’s to many anyways, who needs them

As someone who wants to use words less and eventually transition to only hieroglyphics I welcome all the new emojis.

 

[surfzen21]

The Pink heart emoji took Apple 5 years. The first emoji kinda looks like this. Bravo! 👏🏻😂

The light blue is very close to Tiffany Blue. I hope Apple doesn't get sued. 😳

"Unicode 15.0 includes 4,489 new characters, of which 20 are brand new emoji code points."

Who cares if more emojis are approved by the Unicode consortium? It doesn't make a difference if it's incorporated into iOS.

That's what iPhone users really want, more emojis... Says No One Ever, or at least many Adults!
Some younger people can play with emojis all day but many other adults have lives to lead.

The moose reads to me as a lobster at first glance. But I'm neither from the north or near an ocean. I think they should change it to a 3/4 view.

Also I'm surprised it took this long to get a ginger emoji considering emojis originated in Japan.

 

[Amazing Iceman]

I’m so glad to see Apple focusing on the important things.

It's the Emoji Team trying to keep their jobs secured.

 

[Ladybug]

I’d like a way to edit the list of emoji’s to only show the few I seldom use.

 

[ELman]

The Moose in my area will be happy they are finally being represented.

 

[mcilwraith]

thank god! the current 10 million emoji are not enough!

 

[sleeptodream]

At last, ginger root. Just thinking of all the ways I can use this revolutionary new emoji…er…em…

Ginger Root is a pretty good band, glad they finally got the emoji they deserve

 

[Aleh]

Tell me they finally added a simple “confused face” emoji… it’s crazy we still don’t have one

 

[MrRom92]

I had to zoom in before I realized that was a moose… I thought we were finally going to get emojis representing the human reproductive organs

As in emojis for certain things like... byte me or bl@w me? Jkg.

 

[compwiz1202]

So now if you wanted to type the other word, you will send 🦆 you?

EDIT: Oops it's a goose.

 

[David.Pridy]

So I totally thought the mosse was a crawfish.

Industrial designers, engineers and User Interface designers are not the same jobs.

Do you really think Apple only has about 6 employees, and 1 of them is doing design or something?

How can we be on a tech forum and people don't have even the slightest clue about how tech companies work.
