I’m all about the Hairy Creature emoji added with the iOS and iPadOS 26.4 updates!
Today, as part of the public release of iOS 26.4, Apple has introduced designs for 163 new emojis, including a distorted face with bulging eyes, ballet dancers, a Bigfoot-inspired cryptid, an orca, and a treasure chest. The update also includes a revision to the Puerto Rican flag emoji.

An interesting case where the new #Bigfoot designs seem cleverly based on the famous Patterson–Gimlin film
It’s a full-body shot which fits the current #emoji rules
A recent development that didn’t serve #Troll as well
🧌 was proposed as a full-body, but also a much more recognizable (though not pretty in the draft — but they get polished by Apple, Android, Windows etc)
Troll in a headshot like Devil 😈 would have been everywhere but nobody uses 🧌
It’s just a green blob 😞

#Unicode makes all the successful proposals public, and some of them are quite entertaining
@emojipedia’s website keeps track of them under the “Technical” tab 📂
