Apple iOS 18 is reportedly working on a new set of emojis for iPhone and iPad users.

It appears that 2024 summer may bring a lot of excitement for iPhone owners. First is the WWDC 2024 event, which is anticipated to reveal Apple’s narrative on an upcoming future domination by Generative AI, according to AugustMan.


After that week, Apple is likely to give iPhone users some fresh new emojis for more interactive chats in 2024.

Apple’s upcoming set of emojis has recently been reviewed by the Unicode Consortium and they may relate to unique human moods.

As of now, these new emojis are part of a proposal and subject to their approval. Their future is yet to be decided. These emojis will be accessible for all device manufacturers to adapt and implement once they get approved.

A couple of months can be taken for the usual process that Apple requires to adopt these upcoming emojis for iOS and iPadOS

In a later release of iOS 18, it is possible that Apple might bring these emojis to the public

iOS 18 is just days away, with Apple set to unveil the software update during its WWDC keynote on June 10. Many new features and changes are expected for the iPhone, with more details outlined in our rumor recap below.
