iOS 26 Emoji Will Include Bigfoot, Apple Core, Distorted Face, Fight Cloud and More

Personally, I never use them. But I don't understand why others get so upset when new ones are added. Don't use them. It's that simple.

They clutter and rearrange the previous collection.
I really didn’t like some additions a couple years ago where emojis that should already have existed were added and all the muscle memory from the years before was lost again.

Dear Unicode Consortium,
Stop. Just stop.

Thank you

This is like saying that all +7000 languages are not needed nor accepted in the world.

That Art nor symbolism, are not important!

Emoji's are a 'language' that bridge many different expressions.
Get used to it.

Been waiting forever on that Bigfoot emoji

Same, this is one of my fav movie quotes of all time 🫶

 

[Dog Bone Malone]

Good grief. I don't want freakin emojis.

And still no submarine...

What was wrong with using words to communicate? I feel like this is a regression towards heiroglyphics.

 

[RemedyRabbit]

Please, grow up. No one older than 8 or with an IQ above room temperature uses emojis.

🤔

One workaround is to define shortcuts for the frequently used ones under Settings > General > Text Replacements.

I had totally forgotten about that option… thank you!

Apple has zero vision anymore other than adding stupid emoji's to the mix every iOS release!

Only if engineers had same passion for SIRI

I'm on my fifties and this is absolutely out of my scope and interest. I still wonder whom these whatsoever-cons aka emojis may be useful for

Children and those that never grew up and learned how to spell.

The distorted face one reminds me of this meme:

A man of culture I see. 🤣👍

This is the very first thing my mind went to.

He’s a good man.

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.

If we had an operating system that is stable and reliable, yes, who cares. But having the current state of macOS and iOS and see that they waste time on useless stuff rather than going back to the basics, that’s upsetting.

We pay top dollars for their devices and they are simply unreliable.

Is this our life now.....new emojis?!

 

[mudflap]

Oh, thank God! These new emojis will make up for Liquid Glass.

Wait, do you think Apple designs Unicode Emoji?

 

[pappl]

Bigfoot!
Long overdue!

 

[J.Dillinger]

Still no Chef’s Kiss

OK Gruber.

 

[Hank001]

How about?
