Where did the holiday emojis go?

Hi robinlbc,

I enjoy the Emojis as well. Although I don't have an iPhone 6s I am running the latest iOS and I'm wondering which Holiday Emoji you are missing. There are actually more Emoji in the new iOS than before.

iOS 9.0 - 9.2

iOS 9.1

Over 150 new emoji characters with full support for Unicode 7.0 and 8.0 emojis

Use emoji (emoticons) on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Use the icons at the bottom of the keyboard to switch emoji themes, or swipe left and right to view more. Tap to see emoji you've used recently.

For example, Santa is under the "Smileys & People" theme, snow men are under "Animals & Nature".

Enjoy.

Thank you. I just updated the software and all holiday emojis seemed to have come back. Found Santa, Halloween pumpkin and Christmas tree. All which I was missing.

Those emoji have been in ios for 5 years already. So I don't think they were really missing. They and others got put in different categories recently and some users have had hard time finding them.

Hi robinlbc,

Great. Glad you found them and thanks for letting us know.

Enjoy

where is the pumpkin Emoji??

Hi, the Pumpkin emoji is under the faces tab. It’s next to the purple evil faces to be exact!

It's a halloween pumpkin unfortunately - in the faces section. I would rather have a nice sugar pumpkin.
