    iOS 14: Animated emoji found in early build (update: nope)

    Update: According to users on Twitter, these animated emoji are actually present in a current version of the clips app. Our earlier story got this info incorrect and we no longer expect broader animated emoji support in iOS 14.

    The news: Apple could introduce animated emoji (different from Animoji) as soon as iOS 14, according to @blue_kanikama.

    • Rather than moving Animoji characters, these are animated versions of existing Unicode emoji
    • Notes, stars, dumbbells, confetti, music notes and more are present, per @blue_kanikama
    • The files were found in an early December 2019 build of iOS 14

    Our take: Although these are real images obtained from an early build of iOS 14, there is no guarantee that they will actually be included as a user-facing feature. That being said, this seems small enough to have hopefully made the cut for June 22.

    iOS 14: Possible look at new Control Center toggles

    The news: With WWDC just days away now, we have our first look at what could be new iOS 14 toggles in Control Center, according to @blue_kanikama.

    • 2 new toggles may be on the way:
      • Sleep mode: for tracking your sleep
      • Accessibility sound detection: for alerting people who are hearing-impaired if an alarm/alert/siren is sounding
    • The images are from an early build of iOS 14 from December 2019, so it’s possible they might not make the public release

    Our take: Sleep mode has been long rumored, and it seems 2020 will finally be the year that it drops. And accessibility sound detection has previously been rumored by 9to5Mac.
