Hey dash123_,


The new emoji were introduced with iOS 15.4, and the current software version is 15.5 as shown here: About iOS 15 Updates - Apple Support


To see what version you have installed, tap Settings > General > About. If an update is needed, back up your iPhone first then use the steps in the following guides to update:


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't update - Apple Support


If you have iOS 15.5 installed, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support to look into this more: Contact - Official Apple Support

Emoji are part of the iOS, so I'm not sure what you are missing. Can you indicate a specific emoji that you cannot find that you believe you should have? The latest set of emoji came with iOS 15.4, so if you have iOS 15.5, then you should have them. I am not aware of a listing provided by Apple except possibly in a press announcement. See if this blog post description helps. https://blog.emojipedia.org/ios-15-4-emoji-changelog/#

Which emoji are you looking for. The latest iOS is 15.5, and if you have that installed, you have the latest emoji. There is talk there will be newer ones released some time next year. The Unicode Consortium that does emoji has reported new ones, but once they release those, Apple would have to add them to an iOS update and that is expected sometime early next year.
