Your mileage may technically vary NewBut iOS 26.4 beta 4 brings a total of 163 new emoji designs. There are actually 13 new emoji concepts (beyond what we’ve seen before), and then there are 150 new skin tone variations for the existing wrestles and those with bunny ears.
Emoji-focused resource, Emojipedia, helped provide a first look at all the new emoji. They appear to be variations of new emoji introduced last year by Unicode – the nonprofit organization that standardizes digital characters.

The new concepts, as shown above, include a distorted face, a so-called battle cloud, a Bigfoot-esque creature (technically, it’s known as a “hairy creature”), an orca, a landslide, a treasure chest, and a ballerina in different skin tones. These are long-awaited updates to emoji, as we covered in 2025, but now they’re starting to roll out.
The hairy creature, aka Bigfoot, appears to be the most anticipated of the new emojis. Personally, I think the future of fight cloud emoji is bright, especially for people who loved Saturday morning cartoons in the first place.
