iOS 10.2 Public Beta Officially Released with New Emojis, Wallpapers, and Other Improvements

Apple has released the first public beta of its upcoming iOS 10.2 to public testers today — and it includes new emojis, wallpapers, and a handful of other changes and improvements.

One of the biggest additions the new update brings to iOS 10 is a handful of new and updated emojis in Unicode 9. There are over 72 new emojis in all, including bacon, selfie, clown face, avocado, fox, butterfly, pancakes, a long-overdue facepalm emoji, and a handful of different professions in both male and female options. iOS 10.2 also updates existing emojis to be more detailed, or slightly redrawn to appear like more realistic representations of everyday things, according to AppleInsider.

You can see some of the changes to the food & drink section below.

Cupertino also has included several other improvements and enhancements in iOS 10.2, including a dedicated widget for the stock Videos app. The new widget now shows your latest TV shows and videos that are available for viewing. There’s also a new option to have the Camera app remember the last setting you used — such as square, panorama or video — and use that setting automatically when you open up the app.

Additionally, iOS 10.2 adds a new Celebration full-screen effect for the Messages app, as well as a clearer headphone icon on the status bar — which was previously available to Beats Solo3 owners, but is now included for everyone to view. Also included are some slick new wallpapers that were originally used in marketing material for the iPhone 7. The wallpapers, which resemble a textured glass orb of sorts, are available in a few different colors for you to use.

Apple’s iOS 10.2 was first seeded to developers last week. It’s now available as an over-the-air update to beta testers who have signed up for Apple’s free public beta testing program.
