.
If you’re on the beta channel for iOS, you’ll receive the update via directly on your device. You can also opt to install the update via iTunes, but regardless of how you update, make sure you take a backup first.
To get onto the beta channel, simply head to Apple’s website here and follow the instructions.
The main feature of the update is “new and refreshed emoji” that are fully compliant with the Unicode 9 standard, which includes at least 72 updated emojis.
AppleInsider reports that the update includes a widget for the Video app, a “Preserve Camera” setting, 3 new wallpapers for iPhone 7 users (who only received 1 new wallpaper with their device) and a “Press and Hold to Speak” option under Accessibility settings.
