Apple launched its first beta for developers for the iOS 16.4 on Thursday. While the update is targeted at only a few users, the iPhone maker gave us a preview of features we can anticipate as the final version of iOS 16.4 is being seeded. The new features include new emojis, a revamped podcasts app and notification capabilities for web-based apps.
Emojis are very important and we’re now receiving 31 of them on iOS 16.4. The initial draft of these emojis — which included the moose, an emoji of a goose with a pink heart, as well as “I am shook” — was made available earlier this year. The emojis are now available, thanks to Apple’s most recent software update the emojis will be coming soon to iOS devices. Since Thursday’s update is a beta for developers it is possible that there will be some design changes to the emojis when they are released in the final version.
