Commands for dictating text on iPhone, Apple Inc., 2026, Insert emoji section, command table.
Open the original- What it measures
- The page introduces the list as examples ('See below for more examples of emoji commands'), so the table is not a full list of every emoji that dictation can produce.
- What it does not show
- The page does not say that the list is complete, and it shows the result of each command as an image that is not in the text. Other emoji may work with their own names, but Apple does not list them.
