On Thursday, Apple announced 21 new emoji with its iOS 16.4 update. The update is currently in developer beta mode, and will be available on Apple devices later this spring.
The update includes push notifications for web apps saved to the Home Screen, an updated user experience in the Podcast app, and an easier way to participate in beta testing. But new emoji are definitely the jazziest new updates. The emoji are approved by the Unicode Consortium and will be available on iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Here are our favorites so far.
