Tweaks have been made to some existing emoji as well. There are a number of new animals and food items like kangaroo, parrot, lobster, mango, lettuce, and cupcake. There are new options for red hair, curly hair, no hair, and gray hair, along with characters to represent superheroes, cold face, party face, pleading face, and face with hearts.

Group FaceTime, which lets you chat with up to 32 people at once, is also present in the iOS 12.1 beta. The 10.14.1 update includes support for Group FaceTime, a feature that was removed during the beta testing period.
MacOS Mojave introduces a new method of installing software updates, so after the initial beta has been installed using the appropriate profile from the Developer Center, additional betas can be downloaded through opening up System Preferences and choosing the "Software Update" option.
