Because they are part of a global standard, these emojis will be released on other platforms such as Android, Windows, Twitter, and Facebook. We don’t know when these emojis will be deployed on other platforms.
According to Emojipedia, there have been requirements for an emoji wearing a normal mask to be added to this year’s standard due to the ongoing pandemic, but the standards are decided over a two-year period. There is already an emoji wearing a mask, but it looks like a patient. Until then, users can rely on Memojis that have already been updated to support masks. These masked emojis will be available with iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and macOS 11 Big Sur.
Apple is currently testing beta versions of iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur and does not include these emojis. These new emoji sets are usually released with a small software update after the new larger software updates are released by the end of the third trimester.
