Last year, the Unicode Consortium hinted at eight new emoji that would soon be released on platforms like iOS and Android. With the public launch of iOS 18.4, Apple has finally unveiled support for these exciting new additions.
Introducing New Emoji with iOS 18.4
One of the most notable new emoji is the “face with bags under eyes,” featuring a very exhausted expression. Alongside this, users have several other new options to explore.
Here’s the complete list of new emoji introduced with iOS 18.4:
- Face with bags under eyes
- Fingerprint
- Leafless tree
- Root vegetable
- Harp
- Shovel
- Splatter
- Flag of Sark
It’s important to remember that emoji are developed and sanctioned by the Unicode Consortium, after which Apple and other companies create their unique designs for these characters.
Also, keep in mind that only users with the newest software version can view the new emoji. Therefore, users with iOS 18.3 or earlier will see a blank icon if someone on iOS 18.4 or later sends them a message containing the new emoji.
Moreover, iOS 18.4 enhances Apple Intelligence support across additional languages. It also introduces a new Food Recipes section in Apple News+, the much-anticipated Priority Notifications feature, and several upgrades for CarPlay.
To update your iPhone, navigate to Settings > General > Software Update. It’s notable that these new emoji are available to users on iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches running the latest software as well.
