Install macOS Big Sur 11.6.8 for New Emojis

If you love using emojis, and you missed macOS Big Sur 11.6.7, macOS Big Sur 11.6.6, macOS Big Sur 11.6.5, macOS Big Sur 11.6.4, macOS Big Sur 11.6.3, macOS Big Sur 11.6.2, macOS Big Sur 11.6.1, macOS Big Sur 11.6, macOS Big Sur 11.5.2, macOS Big Sur 11.5.1, macOS Big Sur 11.5, macOS Big Sur 11.4, macOS Big Sur 11.3.1 and macOS Big Sur 11.3, you'll probably want to download the newest version of macOS Big Sur.

macOS Big Sur 11.3 brought hundreds of new emoji characters to Macs. The list includes spiral eyes, heart on fire, face in clouds, exhaling face, and more.

Unfortunately, the only way you'll be able to use, and see, these characters in Messages is if you're running macOS Monterey or macOS Big Sur 11.3 or newer.

If you don't have one of these versions installed on your Mac, the characters will show up as a weird symbol when your friends send them to you in a conversation.
