New animals will also be added to your options, including a kangaroo, parrot, and lobster, along with a handful of food options like a head of lettuce, a mango, a cupcake, and a moon cake. “Many additional characters across sports, symbols, and more, will launch later this year, including a new superhero emoji, a softball, nazar amulet, and infinity symbol,” Apple wrote in its blog post.

The emoji update is due to be available as part of an update to iOS 12, due in the fall.
