Updated iPhone iOS but don't see new emojis

Why don't I have the newest emojis after installing 16.4.1 (a)? I've searched for them by name in the emojis search bar as well as looked for them in their categories. I've turned my phone off, then on, twice. Help!

Here are a couple thing to try:

It takes a bit to get the sequence right and make sure you hold the side button in the last step until the Apple Logo appears.


  • Delete Emoji Keyboard and add it back. To do this go to Settings > General > Keyboard. Tap Edit in the upper right and delete the Emoji Keyboard. Then choose Done and Add New Keyboard. You should be able to select the Emoji keyboard to add it back in.

I figured it out thanks to your suggestions! I did the second one, but I still couldn't find them, but I was looking at the emojis through clicking on the emojis icon in swift key. After I had deleted and replaced the emoji keyboard, the new ones weren't showing up in the SwiftKey keyboard, but when I click directly into the emoji keyboard, I found them! Thanks so much

Although there are no emoji options on my new iphone SE in the Contacts list, I can add them indirectly. I have to go to my iCloud contacts on my iMac, and create the contact there, add the emoji and style there. Then when I go back to the phone the contact for the new addition will be there. It's ridiculous and convoluted, and I hope Apple fixes the problem, but at least I do get what I need if I think it's worth the extra effort.
