Apple’s latest software update, iOS 16.4, brings a collection of new features to your iPhone, from voice isolation for calls to support for PlayStation 5 controllers. You can download the update now if you haven’t yet. If you’ve already installed iOS 16.4, however, you might’ve noticed your iPhone got some new emoji, too.
The new emoji include a shaking-head smiley; animals like a donkey, moose and goose; and additional heart colors, including plain pink and light blue. The plain pink heart has been a long-sought emoji, according to Emojipedia, which named it one of the site’s top emoji requests in 2015. Last year’s significant emoji drop in iOS 15.4 included a melting face, a lip being bitten and a pregnant man, with 37 new designs in total.
A moose, donkey and goose are some of the new emoji iPhone users might see soon.

Emojipedia said the new emoji came from Unicode’s September 2022 recommendation list, Emoji 15.0.
