Apple’s batch of new emoji characters just took one step closer to their public release today with the third beta of iOS 9.1.

The new iOS 9.1 beta 3 build was seeded to developers this morning, exactly one week after the last beta was made available, bringing with it a ton of bug fixes to go with new emoji like taco, burrito, a middle finger, unicorn, and more.

The release notes for iOS 9.1 beta 3 don’t mention any major new additions, but it does include a long list of bug fixes that have been added for iCloud Keychain, Podcasts, Restore, Siri and more.

Apple also noted that there’s been a small change to the UIKit thanks to 3D Touch. Apps should now be prepared to receive touch move events with no change in the x/y coordinates.

Developers can grab the new software update via an over-the-air update if you have iOS 9.1 beta 2 installed, or download it directly from the Developer Center.
