About Apple Emojis
Apple's emoji designs are widely considered the reference standard for the industry. When people picture what an emoji 'should' look like, they often picture the Apple version โ rounded, detailed, expressive faces with depth and gradient shading. Apple ships updated emoji sets with iOS and macOS releases, and their designs often set the tone for how other vendors approach new Unicode additions.
Every emoji on this page is a universal Unicode character โ tap to copy, then paste into any app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or any other device. On Apple devices you'll see Apple's distinctive Cupertino-designed artwork. On Android or Windows, the same character displays in Google's Noto or Microsoft's Fluent style. The character is the same; only the visual skin changes per platform.
Apple has been adding emojis since iOS 2.2 (2008) and now supports over 3,600 emoji variations. Major emoji drops happen with iOS point releases, usually in SeptemberโOctober alongside new iPhone models. Apple's designs typically debut at Unicode approval and become available the same day as the iOS/macOS update.
