Here Are The Emojis Coming to iOS 12

Published

They might not come with the first iOS 12 update for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but Apple plans to bring more than 70 new emojis to iOS 12 later this year.

Late last year, the Unicode Consortium released a list of emoji candidates for 2018. The list included red-haired emojis, a mango, a bar of soap, an abacus, DNA, and a whole lot more.

Today, Apple’s confirmed plans to bring many of these emojis to iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices capable of running its upcoming iOS 12 update.

To celebrate World Emoji Day, Apple’s highlighted the emojis that’ll make their way to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac later this year inside of a free software update to iOS 12.

The list includes red hair, gray hair, and curly hair emoji characters, a new emoji for bald people, and a variety of new smiley faces including a cold face, party face, pleading face and a face with hearts.

Also included are a kangaroo, a peacock, a parrot, a lobster, and new food emojis including a mango, lettuce, cupcake, and moon cake. You can get a look at these emojis, and many others, at the links below.

 

Apple is currently testing the iOS 12 update in a beta for developers and the general public. Those who don’t wish to pay for a developer account can try the iOS 12 beta for free via the company’s Beta Software Program.

The iOS 12 beta comes with a wide range of changes, but these emojis aren’t included in the iOS 12 beta. Apple typically doesn’t include new emojis in the first version of its new operating system. It typically rolls them out a few weeks later inside of a milestone upgrade.

Apple hasn’t confirmed its plans, but these emojis should emerge inside of an iOS 12.1 or iOS 12.2 update sometime this fall. The first version of iOS 12 will likely arrive in September alongside Apple’s new iPhones and iPads.

In addition to new emoji characters, the iOS 12 will bring new Animoji to iPhone X users and a new feature called Memoji. Like Animoji, Memoji are are animated characters, but instead of animals and creatures, Memoji look like actual people.
