A new version of iOS usually brings new emoji as Apple integrates the characters approved by the Unicode Consortium, which is a sort of governing body of the emoji world.
iOS 18 will be no different, although there seems to be a lot fewer than we’re used to within the initial wave of characters for 2024.

There are just seven emoji are set to be added to iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS and, for the first time, visionOS. However, the integration mightn’t be until a later version of the software such as iOS 18.4, if recent precedent is followed
Some of them are, as it turns out, quite bleak. They new candidates are as follows:
- Sleepy face
- Leafless tree
- Shovel
- Splatter
- Fingerprint
- Root vegetable (mmmm turnips!)
- Harp

Earlier this year, in iOS 17.4 Apple added brand new six emoji to the keyboard, including: Head Shaking Horizontally, Head Shaking Vertically, Phoenix Bird, Lime, Brown Mushroom and Broken Chain. The rest were variations of existing emoji with diversity and direction considerations.
