Looks like there's a new addition to our heart emoji galore and a few new ones in the standard emoji face section. I can already foresee the kind of texts I'll be sending with these ones.
But of course, new emojis aren't the only features in the new iOs 14.5 update. Here are other things you can expect:

iPhones with Face IDs might be the most inconvenient invention yet in this era of the pandemic. Unlocking phones often require taking off masks which isn't exactly hygienic, especially when one needs to do it multiple times. But with the new update, that will no longer be a problem! That is of course, if you already own an Apple watch.

What this means is you won't have to say "on Spotify" at the end whenever you want to play music on your phone.

About damn time.
The new update will be accessible to all apple users starting March. But if you can't wait, Apple just released iOS 14.5 Public Beta 2 ready to be tested.
