New Emoji Set to Enhance iPhone Communication in 2025

The Unicode Consortium previews seven new emoji, including a tired face and a fingerprint, expected to be added to iOS 18 and other platforms.

The Unicode Consortium has proposed seven new emoji for approval in Unicode 16.0, including a face with bags under eyes, a fingerprint, and a leafless tree.
If approved, these new emoji will be incorporated into iOS 18, likely in a later update such as iOS 18.4, expected in early 2025.
The new emoji set also includes a root vegetable, a harp, a shovel, and a splatter, reflecting diverse themes from exhaustion to nature.
Apple's finalized versions of these emoji will be designed to align with the company's polished aesthetic and may differ from the initial previews.
The beta review period for these proposed emoji runs until July 2, with final approval anticipated shortly thereafter.
