Ios 17.4 Update Introduces 118 New Emoji Including Gender-Neutral Families

New Apple products go on sale at flagship Apple Store in New York

Apple has recently rolled out its latest iPhone update, iOS 17.4, which introduces a collection of 118 new emoji characters. These new additions include various symbols such as shaking heads, a broken chain, gender-neutral families, and updated directionality for certain existing emoji.

One notable addition is the introduction of rightward-facing options for emoji depicting people walking, running, kneeling, and using mobility aids, manual wheelchairs, and motorized wheelchairs. Previously, these emoji were all oriented to face leftward, but with the latest update, users now have the option to choose rightward-facing versions.

Among the new emoji, users can find a range of expressive characters and symbols that can add flair to their messages and conversations. The update aims to enhance the overall user experience and provide more diverse and inclusive options for communication.

One emoji that stands out is the mushroom emoji, which should not be confused with the existing red mushroom with white spots. The new emoji designs offer users a fresh selection of visual elements to incorporate into their texts and social interactions.

With the release of iOS 17.4, iPhone users can explore and utilize these new emoji to enrich their conversations and express themselves in creative ways. Whether it's conveying emotions, activities, or relationships, the expanded emoji library offers a wider range of choices for users to engage with one another.
