If you’re planning to update your iPhone to iOS 18.4, here’s a look at the new emojis and other features included in this update.
What Are the New Emojis in iOS 18.4?

iOS 18.4 introduces 7 new emojis that you can now use on your iPhone. Here’s the complete list:
- Leafless tree

These new emojis are available once you’ve downloaded and installed iOS 18.4 on your iPhone.
New Apple Intelligence Features in iOS 18.4
iOS 18.4 also introduces new Apple Intelligence features, including Priority Notifications, Visual Intelligence for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, Sketch Style in Image Playground, and more. One of the most exciting additions is Priority Notifications, an Apple Intelligence feature that prioritizes important notifications and displays them in a separate section on the lock screen. To enable this feature, go to:
- Settings > Notifications > Priority Notifications.
With these enhancements, iOS 18.4 aims to improve both productivity and personalization for iPhone users. iOS 18.4 also includes Ambient Music, the new Vision Pro app, enhanced filtering options in the Photos app, and several security fixes to improve overall device safety and performance.
The update is available for all iOS 18-compatible devices, though some features are exclusive to devices that support Apple Intelligence.
