There’s a ton of new emoji as part of iOS 9.1, so we took the time to track them all down and put them next to their official names, so you know how to use them.

New face/hand emoji

There’s a number of new face emoji, but all you’ll probably care about is that middle finger.

Phew — that’s a lot of new emoji.

This isn’t quite every emoji, as there are a handful more symbols of random things like “lower left ballpoint pen” so check out the list over at Emojipedia if you’re interested in those too.
