About Apple Emojis

iOS 15.0 will not include any new emojis from Emoji 14.0, the latest set of emoji recommendations made in September 2021. Support for Emoji 14.0 on Apple platforms is expected in the first half of 2022.

Emojis from late 2020's Emoji 13.1 recommendations were made available in iOS 14.5. These included ❤️🔥 Heart on Fire, 😮💨 Face Exhaling, and a vaccine-friendly 💉 Syringe emoji. In total 669 new emojis were introduced in iOS 14.5.
