iOS 26.4 beta 4 appeared today for developers, and includes a number of new emoji for iPhone users. Here are all the new emojis coming with iOS 26.4.
The new emojis that come with iOS 26.4 are available now in beta

Every year, a group called the Unicode Consortium votes to approve a new set of emoji that will later be added to the iPhone, as well as other platforms like Android, Windows, and more.
The new iOS 26 emoji set has been officially approved last summerbut now they are being added to iPhone with iOS 26.4.
Available in today’s beta 4 release are the following new emoji:
- Ballet dancers
- Distorted face
- Fight Cloud
- Hairy creature
- Landslide
- Orcas
- Trombone
- Treasure chest
Although Apple Intelligence allows iPhone users to create their own ‘Genmoji’, the above emojis are important additions because they join the cross-platform emoji standard.
So once iOS 26.4 and other compatible updates ship, you’ll be able to send and receive these emojis easily across different messaging platforms.
If you want a sneak peek at the new emojis coming with iOS 27, the current candidates—which have yet to be approved—are available here. They include left and right thumb gestures, a meteor, smiley face with pale eyes, a tire and more.
