I just downloaded iOS 12.01 but can’t see the new emojis anywhere on my iPhone X. Does anyone know why?

No where in the release notes for iOS 12.0.1 does it mention emojis. That would probably be why you are not seeing any.

iOS 12.0.1 includes bug fixes and improvements for your iPhone or iPad. This update:

- Fixes an issue where some iPhone XS devices do not immediately charge when connected to a Lightning cable

- Resolves an issue that could cause iPhone XS devices to rejoin a Wi-Fi network at 2.4 GHz instead of 5 GHz

- Restores the original position of the ".?123" key on the iPad keyboard

- Fixes an issue where subtitles may not appear in some video apps

- Addresses an issue where Bluetooth could become unavailable

iOS 12.1 has been publicly released. You should be able to download and install that to devices that are eligible to support it. That includes the iPhone 5s and above. Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

The emoji add-ins will be for the 12.1 update NOT the 12.01 update.

Apple brings more than 70 new emoji to iPhone with iOS 12.1 - Apple

Where is the fix for cellular service. Best Google it, lots of dropped calls due to your new antenna configuration. Still not buying until cellular signal issue is fixed. I need proof they fixed it, and that might not be till the next version of the iPhone.

I have had problems galore since downloading iOS 12.1 my phone is so slow and some things have changed I can’t figure out how to fix I wish they would give us the option on whether to download or not I don’t have X mine is 7plus and a lot of the upgrades didn’t even involve other iPhones mostly 10 it is infuriating trying to figure out how to redo what this update undid.

I installed 12 on my 7 plus, followed by 12.0.1, and everything about it is positive and an improvement over 11. And a lot of review sites have tested it and found that 12 provides greatly improved performance and better battery life. If you are not seeing the same results I suggest restoring iOS on your phone using iTunes.

I'm sorry, but this thread has nothing to do with dropped calls. And, I don't work for Apple, so it is not my antenna configuration.

How come others that have the same iPhone as me - iPhone 8 Plus - have the new emojis?

Probably because they registered for the 12.1 beta

How do we get the 12.1 update??

iOS 12.1 has not been publicly released yet. You will get it when it is available.

Same here. I think they make it available gradually, not to everyone at once. Hoping it will not take too long.

It says I have 12.1 update though

Can some please just explain how to access the new emojis and memoji?
