These are the 72 new emoji in iOS 10


These are the 72 new emoji in iOS 10

iOS 10.0.1 drops today, and included are over 70 new emoji. Among them are highly-anticipated additions — like the rainbow flag of the LGBT community — and, well, not much else. The life-like emoji are a nice touch, as are the multiple skin tones, but some of the additions are just plain head-scratching.

Head massage anyone?

How about a woman wearing a large fur hat?

Or, you know, just a dude walking.

It’s also worth noting that there isn’t a rifle emoji included in the new set. Apple did, however, change the revolver from iOS 9 to a squirt gun in iOS 10.

This might be the point where my age starts showing, but I think more isn’t necessarily better — at least as it pertains to emoji. Adding new ones that I really can’t picture using definitely isn’t doing us any favors. But hey, maybe one day — when conversation is entirely emoji-based — I’ll be happy we have so many options. Until then, get off my lawn.

Oh, and check out the other 72 and let us know your favorite — or least favorite.
