I was given the option to update to 17.3 I believe it was? The update before iOS 18. Well I just skipped that and installed iOS 18. I seem to have everything except the new emojis. I’ve tried deleting my “emoji” keyboard twice and I restarted my phone. Am I missing something?
I have the IPhone 14 Pro Max.

The thing you did wrong was take anything on Fox News as fact.

What you saw is that the Unicode Consortium has just approved 8 new emojis on September 10th. They approve the specifications for the emojis and those are in version 16 of the emoji package. Each manufacturer then creates those emojis from the specifications provided by the Unicode Consortium and with all previous versions of the emoji packages, you will see them on your iPhone in an update when they have been completed.
The update before iOS 18 was 17.6.1. At the same time that iOS 18 was released, they also released 17.7 for people who weren't ready to move to iOS 18.
What new emojis were you expecting? I don't see anything about them in the announcements.
Do you mean Genmoji? If so, those will be part of Apple Intelligence which hasn't been released yet. Also, it won't be available on your phone.

None of those emojis have been included in any emoji update at least by going back for the last 10 years. You can view the emojis that come out each year at this link. It is a long list, but the most recent ones are on top. The ones that were approved this year will come to your device sometime later in a point update of iOS, but none of those are the ones that you have listed. You can send images in a Message that are not an emoji, which may be what they are.

Very good information! I don't generally keep up on such things.

I saw a Fox News video about eight new emojis, a turnip, shovel, tired face with eye bags, a harp etc. it was posted yesterday but when I updated I didn’t get them so I wasn’t sure if I was doing something wrong.
I can't say that I would be inclined to get my Apple news from Fox. I have none of those.
Yeah, you’re probably right lol.
thank you!
An update on my situation was she mistakenly saw an update on her Grammarly keyboard as part of her 17.7 update.
Thanks for replying!

Thanks for the update.
Where are the new iOS 18 emojis?
