Head shake, mushroom and broken chains: This is the emoji vintage 2023

From 2024, you can no longer just give feedback with a thumbs up or down. The new emojis include a nodding and a shaking head.

A total of 118 new emojis have been decided by the Unicode Consortium. However, only ten of these are really new. The remaining 108 are people who are now also moving in the other direction and receiving new colour variants.

10 new additions and 108 adjustments

So far, people in emojis have always moved to the left. This will change for six of them in the future: Walking, running, kneeling, cane, wheelchair and electric wheelchair.

Some patience still required

You will probably be able to use the new emojis from 2024. However, it is still unclear when they will be released for which devices. Apple likes to include them in an iOS update in spring, for example. Most recently, for example, in March with iOS 16.4.

The update is less predictable for Windows. With Android, the device manufacturers still have their hands in the game to some extent. Samsung, for example, uses its own emojis and not Google's design. In the last round of emojis, Google gradually distributed the new additions to its platforms between September and March, with Android bringing up the rear.
