As prognosticate , Apple released its much - anticipated Io 10 software update on Tuesday , and it ’s pack with lashings ofbadass unexampled featuresthat’ll make your old iPhone or iPad feel new again . But just admit it , people : the one new feature you’remostexcited about is the fresh batch ofnew emoji characters .
Along withseveral other self-aggrandising update to the Messages app , iOS 10 brings scads of unexampled and redesign emoji to your iPhone keyboard such as the long - absentrainbow flag , exclusive parent families , several new emoji options to promote sex equalityin professing ( i.e. police force ship’s officer , firefighter , etc . ) as well as sports ( i.e. cyclist , basketball player , and more ) , and even a newwater gun emojithat replace the longtime gunslinger emoji Apple no longer supports . Most of the updates , however , appear to be existing character redesigned with a fresh coating of that pale sensationalistic paint – with 37 completely fresh character and 632 emoji updates in total , consort to Emojipedia.org .
Granted , this batch of emoji might not be as exciting asthe monumental novel emoji dismissal via the iOS 9.1 update last October , but like iOS 10 in universal , it sure brings improvements to your iPhone . Add that to the many brassy new Messages app features like crazy message brio option / special effects , an App Store just for adding new Messages abilities , and the ability to post emoji that appear three times bigger , and well , itmightjust be enough to entertain you over until the next emoji update . Keyword : might .
As Emojipedia place out , thenextupdate – potentially later this year – will likely includethe 72 all - unexampled emoji charactersapproved by the Unicode Consortium for Unicode Version 9.0 , include Viscount St. Albans , pancakes , face medallion , shrug , avocado tree , cuke , and baguette emoji – to name a few . An " Impatiently intercept Foot " emoji would surely come in handy mightily now .
