These Fun New Emoji Should Be Dropping Soon in iOS 26.4
iOS 26.4 beta 4 adds eight new Unicode 17 emojis, updates accessibility settings, supports iPhone 17e and M4 iPad Air, and defers RCS encryption rollout, Apple said.
- Apple released iOS 26.4 beta 4, which is now available to developers and public beta testers and adds support for the iPhone 17e, M4 iPad Air, and eight new emoji.
- Apple's emoji add stems from Unicode Version 17.0, which last year the Unicode Consortium approved, and developers create Apple's images as interpretations, not new emoji concepts.
- Emojipedia's image shows Apple's Distorted Face with a fish-eye look, a Treasure Chest bursting with treasure, and a Hairy Creature emoji representing Bigfoot.
- Apple removed the RCS end-to-end encryption beta in iOS 26.4 beta 4, delaying parity in encryption for iPhone-to-Android RCS conversations, and renamed an accessibility setting to Reduce Bright Effects.
- The Unicode Consortium said, 'Every year, new characters including emoji are added to the Unicode Standard and after a lot of paperwork are added to your device of choice,' with observers expecting the iOS 26.4 release before April.
