Apple is adding more fun and diverse emojis to their collection, including a llama, raccoon, bagel, frisbee, and mosquito. These new emojis, along with others like a bagel, salt, luggage, and more, will be available to iPhone and iPad users with the upcoming iOS 12.1 update. Beta testers and developers can already see these new emojis starting this Tuesday.
In addition to the new animals and objects, Apple also previewed emoji options for bald and redheaded characters, as well as a lobster, cupcake, and superheroes. These new emojis are part of the Unicode Consortium’s latest list of emoji standards, which was unveiled earlier this year. Each company, like Apple, puts their own unique twist on the emojis from the master list.
It’s not just Apple that has faced emoji controversies in the past. Google, for example, had issues with its beer and hamburger emojis, which were eventually corrected. Emoji interpretations can vary between companies, leading to differences in how emojis are displayed and understood.
Overall, the addition of new emojis by Apple will provide users with more options to express themselves and communicate with friends and family. The upcoming iOS 12.1 update will bring a range of new emojis that are sure to enhance the messaging experience for Apple users.
