iOS 17.4 to add new emoji including a shaking head, brown mushroom, a broken chain, more
Apple has released the first developer beta of iOS 17.4, bringing with it several new emoji including a Head Shaking Horizontally, a Head Shaking Vertically, a Phoenix, Lime, Brown Mushroom and Broken Chain emoji, as well as new family emojis.
As part of the Unicode 15.1 update, iOS 17.4 is set to include direction options that can be used with a person walking, person running, person kneeling, person with white cane, person in manual wheelchair, or person in motorized wheelchair.
As shown in the mockup by Emojipedia, the style of the new emoji follows similarly to the emoji characters already available in iOS.
Apple is set to release iOS 17.4 in March, bringing with it support for third-party app stores on iPhone, allowing users in the EU to download apps to their devices through an app marketplace other than Apple’s own App Store, support for developers to access the NFC chip on iPhone, paving the way for Apple Pay alternatives in Europe, and more.
