Emoji alert: Which emojis do we actually need?
Apple’s iOS 18.4 update brings eight new emojis, but East Coast Breakfast listeners have even more fun emoji ideas!
Apple’s back at it again, rolling out some fresh new emojis with their iOS 18.4 update.
This isn’t just your average update, though.
Along with these eight new emojis, there are some nifty new features, including language expansions for Apple Intelligence and iPadOS updates.
But let’s get back to the real star of the show – the emojis!
Here’s the scoop. iOS 18.4 introduced eight brand new emojis to liven up your messages, including:
1. A face with bags under its eyes – hello, sleepless nights!
2. Fingerprint – because no two people are the same.
3. Splatter – for those messy moments.
4. Root vegetable – because your diet’s looking fresh.
6. Leafless tree – autumn vibes or just bad luck with plants?
6. Harp – time for some serious strings.
7. Shovel – digging deep into the weekend plans.
8. Flag of Sark – represent!
This update’s making emojis even more expressive, but don’t get too excited just yet.
Rumour had it Apple was preparing to release emojis of female music icons like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Ariana Grande.
Sadly, this was debunked as a hoax. Shame, no Queen B emoji for you (yet).
Seeing this rollout of new emojis, we decided to take a fun spin on this here at East Coast Breakfast, asking you, our awesome listeners, to drop your dream emojis.
And did you deliver! Here are some of the most entertaining and downright hilarious suggestions we got:
Bunny chow – a South African classic, making its emoji debut?
Music note on fire – for those bangers that just heat up the playlist.
Braai – a whole emoji just for your backyard barbie? Yes, please.
This meeting could’ve been an email – the emoji we never knew we needed but totally do.
I know you lying – for those times when words just aren’t enough.
Pregnancy test – sometimes you just need to express all the feelings.
Running late again – this one’s for all of us who can’t seem to be on time, no matter what.
We might just have to send these suggestions straight to Apple for their next big update.
What's one emoji you would add to the family?
