These are the new iOS 16.4 emojis for Apple iPhones trends now
A shaking face, a Wi-Fi symbol, a jellyfish and different coloured hearts are among the 21 new emoji available on Apple devices with the latest iOS update.
The highly-requested 'pink heart' emoji is one of three new hearts included in the release, along with light blue and grey variations.
'Shaking face', meanwhile, could be used for shock reactions or to indicate excessive movement, such as during an earthquake.
Other inclusions are pea pod, ginger, angel wing, maracas, moose, donkey and a khanda – the symbol of the sikh faith.
The emoji are included in iOS 16.4, Apple's new software update, which is available now for iPhone models from the iPhone 8 and newer.
Here are the 31 new emoji now available on Apple devices - including shaking face, a Wi-Fi symbol and pink heart
Emojipedia – which is part of the Unicode Consortium, the central bank of all approved emoji – approved the new emoji release – called 15.0 – last year.
Companies apply stylised versions of the designs to their own operating systems – including Apple, Google and Meta, which started rolling out its own new designs to Facebook at the end of last month.
One of the most anticipated additions is a pink heart, one of the most 'discussed absences on the emoji keyboard' since 2016, Emojipedia has said.
There are already several other versions of pink hearts including a growing pink heart, two-hearts, heart with arrow, heart with ribbon and beating heart, but not a plain pink heart.
Other new emoji are blackbird, goose, hyacinth, hand fan, wooden flute and hair pick – used for combing curly or thick hair.
Despite faces being among the top-used emoji, the only new face emoji in this release is 'shaking face'.
There's also 'pushing hand' in a range of colours – yellow and various skin tones – either right-facing or left-facing.
Pushing hand emoji looks like one half of the existing 'folded hands' emoji, which is often used to indicate prayer, thanks or reverence.
It could be used to indicate refusal of something, or holding out a hand for a high five.
Apple's version of pushing hand is markedly different from the sample image revealed by Emojipedia last year.
Including the colour variations of the pushing hands, 31 new emoji are available from today.
'Today Apple has debuted 31 new emoji designs within its newly-released iOS 16.4 update, finally bringing a plain pink heart emoji to iPhones, iPads, and all other Apple devices across the world,' said Keith Broni at Emojipedia.
'Each of the 31 new emoji included within iOS 16.4 are from Unicode's Emoji 15.0 recommendations, which were made in September of last year.'
