While the just-released iOS 9.1. beta is light on major features, it does contain some big additions for the iPhone’s emoji keyboard.
Tons of new emoji were added in iOS 9.1 as part of the system’s update to Unicode 8.0 standards, which includes support for burrito, taco and unicorn pictograms. There’s also a stop hand, upside-down smiley face, a turkey, prayer beads, and much more.
Here’s a look at all the new emoji:

Didn’t they say iOS 9 would be released on September 16th today?
Yes. GM was released to developers today.
This is the final release to the developers. The official public release is the 16th.
Hey Apple, does iOS 9 fix these things?!
-“A problem occurred with this web page so it was reloaded” over, and over, and over, and over again.
-Tabs reloading, after you go reference another one, and dumping any info you may have typed into it.
-Select/cut/copy/paste that actually works again in Safari? It’s been broken since iOS 7!
-The ability to go back to a webpage and not have to start at the top of the page, pause for a few seconds, or many more seconds, and then it takes you back down to where you were on the page? What moron designs a browser to work that way??
-The ability to be able to pinch to zoom in most webpages, like we used to be able to?
– new iOs versions that dramatically degrade performance. My iPad 4 on the latest iOS 8 is a freakin joke.
Of course their new low is a first- the iPad Air being the first iPad to not get any updates at all. That should really boost already decreasing iPad sales. Hey, but at least we’re getting new emoji.
All your complains, including the last one, are directly caused by crappy HTML / JavaScript codes of webpages. It’s the code on webpages that forbids you to select, copy, paste or zoom. It’s the code on webpages that dynamically generate contents while scrolling so that you can’t jump to exactly position after rewinding, because that “position” doest not exist unless you starting to scroll. Nowadays one webpage may contain 20KB of real contents (with picture), along with 4MB or more for Javascript libraries and CSS. Blame these designers for not providing a mobile version.
