From a pregnant man to a biting lip, the 37 new emojis coming to iPhones have finally been revealed.
Apple's own designs for the new emojis are already available in a beta test of iOS 15.4 software update released on Thursday, prior to its full release in the spring.
The pregnant man and pregnant person recognise that 'pregnancy is possible for some transgender men and non-binary people', says Emojipedia, which is part of the California-based Unicode Consortium, the central bank of all approved emoji.
But the two new pregnant emoji could also potentially be used as 'a tongue-in-cheek way to display a food baby', a very full stomach caused by eating a large meal.
iOS 15.4 also includes seven brand new smiley emojis, including Melting Face, Dotted Line Face, Face Holding Back Tears and Face with Diagonal Mouth.
Other additions include a motorcycle tyre, a slide, a disco ball, a troll with a club, coral, kidney beans and a low battery.
The Unicode Consortium officially signed off candidates for the next emoji release, version 14.0, last September.
But companies including Apple, Google and Microsoft apply stylised versions of the consortium's designs to their own operating systems.
Apple's were revealed by Emojipedia in a blog post published on Thursday, the same day iOS 15.4 arrived in beta.
Beta testing involves letting a small group of people use a product in a to uncover any bugs or issues before a general release.
'Since 2019, vendors have been making considerable efforts to offer all people emojis with three different gender variants – one "Man", one "Woman", and a non-gender-specifying "Person",' said Keith Broni at Emojipedia.

Wow! You are smart!
Good thinkin'!
You should be a doctor - or sumthin'....

It’s all play acting. Like when you were a kid and played dress up in your moms clothes. No matter how much you want it to be real, it’s not. It’s just sad.
Yea. satan is working over time.
That’s not just transgender, it’s trans-species.
I hope someone will tell us how to remove it from our phone.
A “pregnant” man is basically a heavy beer drinker.
6. They should have used early photos of Sharpton and Nadler.
Also should have used them for a new All a-Selzer ad re “ I really did eat the whole thing!”.
Libs prove they can always surpass the current level of stupid.
We always called it a beer belly.
Next update will be man with a rhino horn sticking out of his forehead 🤪
Don’t count on it.
I found several links that tell us how.
But then when I read the release more carefully I see that Apple has not yet put the images on our phones.
It’s a horrible emoji. It just looks like a beer belly and indigestion.
Bill Maher uses this as an example of how libs have lost their minds: https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2022/01/29/nailed-it-bill-maher-explains-how-the-dems-have-lost-their-way-and-minds/
