First of all, the Apple iOS 16.4 update comes with a range of new emojis from Unicode 15 that were first approved in September 2022.

The new iOS update also brings  updates to keyboards including, "support for new Unicode 15.0 Emoji" and "autocorrect for the Korean keyboard is enabled by default for testing and feedback." The update also adds support for transliteration layouts on Gujarati, Punjabi and Urdu keyboards.

After the update, certain websites added to the Home Screen on an iPhone or iPad as a web app will be able to send Push notifications as well. The update also brings in several other features. As mentioned, this is a beta update and is not available to all iPhone users. However, the Cupertino based tech giant will likely roll out a stable version of iOS 16.4 in coming weeks.
