Sony has recently released updates for both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, enhancing various features and improving overall user experience.
The PS5's latest update, version 25.02-11.00.00, is a 1.3GB download that brings significant improvements to the console's activities and emoji support. Now, activity details are fully displayed on cards, with potential spoilers cleverly hidden to maintain the surprise for gamers. Additionally, the update introduces support for Unicode 16.0 emojis, allowing users to express themselves more vividly in messages. For families, there are important changes to parental controls; when set to Late Teens or Older, the Communication and User-Generated Content automatically defaults to Restrict. However, if you've previously customized these settings, they will remain unchanged and be labeled as Customize. Beyond these features, the update enhances the system software's performance and stability, and improves the messages and usability on various screens.
Here are the detailed patch notes for the PS5 update 25.02-11.00.00:

On the other hand, the PS4's update 12.50 is more modest, focusing solely on improving messages and usability on some screens.
