If you haven’t heard by now…then you are missing out. This past Wednesday, October 21st, update IOS 9.1 has updated not only our phones, but our lives!!! Yes that’s right, our lives. What has been the one thing everyone has been waiting for and talking about for the new iPhone updates? Emojis. Wednesdays update includes 150 new emojis including tacos, burritos and cheese emojis! Tacos! Everyone has been waiting for the infamous taco emoji but it was a nice surprise to see a burrito one as well. Several other food emojis have also been added, including cheese, popcorn and a hot dog. This is the first time emojis have added this many emojis in a few years. The last update added different skin tones to each emoji face and person but it was to much disappointment in people that no other emojis were added. Many have expected the much yearned for taco emoji for some time now so now that the day has finally arrived many people are very excited. Another popular addition to the emoji family is the unicorn along with several other animal emojis. They have also added the long awaited for middle finger emoji.
Emojis have helped people communicate over text, snap chat and many other forms of social media. The faces and several other characters are an easy way for people to express emotions and personality over non-verbal and non-face to face interactions. While communication and forming full sentences is becoming more and more important in younger generations, emojis are still a fun and silly way to express feelings…especially with the new middle finger emoji!
