iOS 14.5 Just Gave You 226 New Emoji for Your iPhone — Here's What They All Look Like « iOS & iPhone :: Gadget Hacks
If you consider yourself an emoji master, you’ll have to retrain yourself once you install iOS 14.5 on your iPhone. Why? Because there are 217 new ones available to incorporate into your sometimes cryptic emoji messages.
With iOS 14.5 (and iPadOS 14.5), released on April 26, Apple supports the new Unicode Emoji 13.1 update established in September 2020. Some non-Apple devices already have access to these 217 new emoji, such as Google Pixel smartphones, but let’s be real: they look so much better on iPhones and iPad.
Three new emoji in iOS 14.5 (left) and Android (right).
While there 217 new emoji in the Unicode Emoji 13.1 update, we’ve counted 226 changes to your emoji list in iOS 14.5. A few emoji received updates, like “Headphones” and “Bearded Man,” that aren’t included in that 217 count, and that’s seven changes right there (accounting for skin tones).
The other two changes not listed in the original 217 are the new yellow gender-neutral “Couple Kissing” and “Couple with Heart” emoji. Technically, these emoji have been available since iOS 14.0, but they never appeared in the emoji list that you scroll through. Instead, you would have to search for “couple heart” or something similar to find them in iOS 14’s new emoji search tool.
The list below has all the need-to-know info about the new and updated smileys, people, and objects, but you can also jump below that to see every new and updated emoji for your iPhone in iOS 14.5.
- Headphones look like AirPods Max [update]
- New Faces (Exhaling, Spiral Eyes, and In Clouds)
- New Hearts (On Fire and Mending)
- Bearded Person is now Bearded Man (has skin tones) [update]
- New style Bearded Person (has skin tones)
- New Bearded Woman (has skin tones)
- Skin tones for Man/Man Couple with Heart
- Skin tones for Woman/Woman Couple with Heart
- Skin tones for Man/Woman Couple with Heart
- New gender-neutral Couple with Heart (has yellow and skin tones)
- Skin tones for Man/Man Kissing
- Skin tones for Woman/Woman Kissing
- Skin tones for Man/Woman Kissing
- New gender-neutral Couple Kissing (has yellow and skin tones)
To reiterate: the gender-neutral kissing and heart couples did have yellow ones available before iOS 14.5, but you could not find them in the emoji list — you had to search for them by name to find them.
