Accordingly, the update should include 217 new emojis.

Among other things, users will have more choice of hearts in the future: A flaming heart and a heart with a bandage will be added.

Other motifs show a face exhaling, a face wrapped in clouds and one with spirals for eyes.

Most of the innovations, however, are intended to bring more variety to the emoji world.

The selection of couples has been increased: From now on there is a larger selection of different skin tone variations for the emoji depicting a kissing couple.

In addition, a gender-neutral couple was introduced.

Further updates concern the climbing emoji - it is now wearing a helmet in accordance with safety requirements.

The emoji with a syringe has been changed slightly to show a new syringe with no blood.

The new emojis have been available since Tuesday evening - but only for users who have the second beta version of iOS 14.5.

According to a spokesman, it could be in the spring, possibly between April and May.
