There are many new emojis in the new iOS update for all Apple users.
A woman with a beard, a syringe without blood and hundreds of new pair variants.
That is what they mean.
Cupertino - The new update iOS 14.5 for all Apple users is here and brings some changes with it.
Especially with the emojis, users can look forward to a number of innovations.
With three new face smileys, users can now express their feelings even more precisely.
The main focus of the new emojis is on gender-neutral representations.
With the faces, you could often only select a certain gender, this should now change in the new update.
Apple: iOS update brings new emojis - new face smileys and their meaning
You can now find three new smiley faces on your iPhone.
A face that expels air in a small cloud and looks with a sigh.
This smiley face is used to express relief or exhaustion.
It can also be used as a sigh of disappointment, as the developers say.
It could also represent the exhalation of smoke.
That leads directly to another new face: a smiley wrapped in a cloud.
Is the face floating on cloud nine or has it just just smoked too much?
That is up to the user.
The last new smiley face has spirals for eyes.
It is used to express dizziness, but also hypnosis or other forms of disorientation.
When it comes to love, a lot has changed with emojis.
Anyone who wants to show their passionate feelings can now send a flaming heart.
For all broken hearts there is now a bandaged heart.
The biggest innovation is over a hundred new ways to depict couples.
From now on there is a larger selection of different skin tone variations for the emoji, which shows a kissing couple and that shows a loving couple.

Apple iOS Update 14.5: First gender-neutral couple available on iPhone
The hundred new couples now also include a gender-neutral couple.
In the case of individuals, there has been a gender-neutral variant called “person” for a long time.
Now the developers have also created pairs with the "person".
Not only for the couple emojis there are now gender-neutral representations.
The male emoji with a beard is also getting new variants.
In addition to the “man with a beard”, you can now also find “woman with a beard” and “person with a beard”.

New iOS update changes syringe emoji due to corona vaccinations
Another emoji change in the new iOS update has to do with the current pandemic.
The coronavirus is now also changing the emoji world.
The syringe with blood drops has now been replaced by a syringe with bluish liquid, which also has a shorter needle.
The new syringe is supposed to be more reminiscent of a vaccination than a blood sample.
Vaccinated people can tell their friends and families the news directly through an emoji.

In WhatsApp, the new emojis appear for everyone who has not yet installed the update, divided into different properties.

If you don't have the new update, you will usually see a question mark or a small square instead of the smileys.
This time it's different in WhatsApp.
Instead of the new emojis, several other emojis appear that best reflect the new emoji.
For the face that is wrapped in a cloud, for example, a smiley face without a mouth and a cloud appear.
For the burning heart, a normal heart and a flame of fire appear.
Although the chat partner has not yet installed the update, he can still see what feelings the other is trying to express.
