World Emoji Day: Apple previews iOS 14 Memoji designs

Apple has previewed new Memoji and emoji designs coming in the next big software update for iOS, including headwear options and lockdown-themed masks. 

To celebrate World Emoji Day today, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed a short animation of the upcoming Memoji for iOS 14, coming this autumn.  

The Memoji avatar capability allows users to create animated versions of themselves from within Apple’s Messages app. 

Among the new Memoji options are 11 hairstyles, including a man bun and a top knot, and 19 types of headwear, including a swim cap, cyclist helmet and a tichel, a headscarf worn by some Jewish women.

Apple has also revealed two new face masks, both with seams down the middle, and new colours to match each individual Memoji’s style and appearance.
