A free update to iOS 12 brings more expression to every message with new characters for sports, symbols and more.
The new emojis are based on characters approved for Unicode 11.0, back in February by the Unicode Consortium , the group that decides on new emojis. According to BBC news. The addition came with an intention to better represent the vast demographic of users, including all different hair types and skin tones, as well as more expressive faces. There will be a cold face, a party face, a pleading face and a face with hearts.
New emoji characters including redhead and bald options make it even easier to personalise every message.
In the furry friends section, we will have a kangaroo, peacock, parrot and lobster joining the fray.
Beautifully designed animal emoji including the kangaroo and lobster, and new food options are coming later this year.
In the food department, you can expect to see emojis for mango, lettuce, cupcakes and mooncakes, and plenty others.
Also added are Smiling Face with Smiling Eyes and Three Hearts, Partying Face, Pleading Face and Cold Face.
The additions will be available for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, and Mac owners. The features will be available on all its platforms “later this year”, on iOS 12.
