It concerns me that I'm bummed over bigfoot walking right to left instead of left to right like the Patterson footage.
Got a tip for us?

There are about 4 emojis I use.
In celebration of World Emoji Day, the Unicode Consortium this week confirmed the new emoji characters that will be added to Unicode 17 in the fall.
Emoji characters that are coming include trombone, treasure chest, distorted face, hairy creature (aka Bigfoot or Sasquatch), fight cloud, apple core, orca, and ballet dancers.
After Unicode 17 is released later this year, artists at Apple will begin creating new emoji characters in the Apple emoji style. It takes several months for Apple to introduce new emoji after a Unicode update, so we can expect to see these characters next spring.
Apple will add the emoji to an iOS 26 update next year, likely in iOS 26.4. Apple most recently added new emoji in iOS 18.4, an update that came out in late March.
iOS 18.4 introduced the Unicode 16 emoji, which included bags under eyes, fingerprint, leafless tree, root vegetable, harp, shovel, and splatter.
The Unicode Consortium releases Unicode updates on a yearly basis, adding new emoji characters each time. Anyone can submit an emoji proposal that the Consortium will consider.

One workaround is to define shortcuts for the frequently used ones under Settings > General > Text Replacements.
Why? Do you have a problem with men announcing they're going to be dads? or you're projecting ?
I'm with you–too hard to distinguish between fine details. Which is why I generally only send emoji as stand alone texts (no words), which makes them 3-4x bigger, and very readable.
I was just about to post the same message! How in God's Green Earth do we have emoji's for a levitating man in a business suit, the symbol for non-potable water, and a pile of poop, but no chef's kiss? It's such a great way to compliment someone. We need more positivity in the world, damnit!
Please, grow up. No one older than 8 or with an IQ above room temperature uses emojis.
Unless you're using a whole bunch of different emoji, the ones you use most often should be in the recently used section at the far left. I rarely have to scroll the for the ones I use.
Maybe I'm the only person who has switched entirely to Genmoji in Messages but I have no need for these standards anymore given the ability to create something unique in a few seconds. The standards are still useful for email newsletters and websites as Genmoji are images with no possibility of HTML code.
