Tomorrow marks World Emoji Day, and in celebration of the occasion, Apple has shared a sneak peek of upcoming 2020 emojis that will be contributed to iPhones, iPads, and Macs with Emojipedia.
Emojis coming in 2020 are part of the Emoji 13 update, that includes the following emoji options:
Faces – Smiling Face with Tear, Disguised Face
People – Ninja, Person in Tuxedo, Woman in Tuxedo, Person with Veil, Man with Veil, Woman Feeding Baby, Person Feeding Baby, Man Feeding Baby, Mx. Claus, People Hugging
Body Parts – Pinched fingers, Anatomical Heart, Lungs

After the Emoji 13 upgrade, there will, sadly, be a delay with Emoji 14 that will prevent brand-new emojis from being presented in 2021. Emoji 14 will be launched six months late, which indicates it likely wont have the ability to be contributed to smartphones till 2022.
The update likewise includes 55 gender and skin-tone variations, along with new gender-inclusive emojis that can be used as an alternative to gendered versions, such as individual with veil and individual with tuxedo rather than the current woman/man alternatives.
Apple shared design previews of several of the brand-new emoji with Emojipedia, which can be seen in the image above and in more information on the Emojipedia site.
Apple will embrace the brand-new Unicode 13 emoji characters at some time in 2020, likely in a fall upgrade to iOS 14. Apple in 2015 introduced Unicode 12 emojis in the iOS 13.2 upgrade that was released in October.
