[Jett0516]

It’s getting ridiculous that emojis is growing faster than my salary

Apple need a way of organizing them asap. Like adding pinned or hiding groups of emojis

😑

 

[Mac Fly (film)]

Still no ride-on lawnmower, no push lawnmower and no secateurs.

 

[LeadingHeat]

That looks like a foot with a weird side toe.

 

[Santiago]

When are they gonna stop messing about and make a Chef's Kiss emoji?

They can even make it a ligature for 🧑‍🍳🤌💋.

 

[_Spinn_]

Apple needs a better way to find emojis. I already have trouble finding the ones I want.

 

[maxoakland]

who actually uses this ****

You could’ve saved space by using an emoji 💩

 

[citysnaps]

How many of these stupid things can be made?

For a skilled designer with a modicum of imagination, essentially an infinite number. For those that hate on the idea of emojis (believe it or not *some* people get a major case of the shakes from emojis, as witnessed here on MR) and possess a stunted imagination, not many.

Silver heart! I can't tell you how long I have been waiting for this one. Finally...!!

LOL yea I'm amazed it took so long to mention new Emojis

 

[compwiz1202]

They need something to sell hardware next year(s).

Yes they need to bring them out in spurts like the new features they've been saving for years. USB C will be on the shelf until they run out of all the others

What a weird thing to get bothered by. A little smiley face which you don’t have to use. And if someone uses one to you can just tell them that you’re uncomfortable with the use of a little smiley face and that it bothers you. A true friend or a particularly perceptive child will surely understand. And if not you can block them. 💪

A little smiley face is not what bothers me. What bothers me is that we already have 90% of useless emojis that basically no one needs and they still keep adding more and more. As some other people mentioned here, it get's harder and harder to find the ones you're looking for.

 

[flofixer]

Still waiting for the high five emoji...

 

[NightFox]

Damn you Emoji Consortium! Where's my submarine emoji?

 

[SchroederDoodle]

For the love of God -- STOP!!! I can't bear another near fatality as I emoji and drive

 

[sideshowuniqueuser]

I'm curious if Unicode could create code points where first the emoji shape, and then the colour shade as an RGB or similar, is encoded, instead of coming up with multiple arbitrary shades for each shape? I have a feeling that might be all too much for UTF-8 etc though.

 

[Shaun the Sheep]

The hands look like Scooby Doo’s front paws

 

[Cyanide89]

The solid pink heart! Lol! Maracas… the use will be for everything except for its actual meaning.

 

[Dreamail]

... still no raspberries or black berries.
Nor any apricots.

 

[gelno]

Seriously, I would be happy to finally have a moose

 

[BvizioN]

How many of these stupid things can be made?

Literally infinite numbers. For every single object known in the universe, plus the infinite number of colors in which they can be presented.

 

[cupcakes2000]

How many of these stupid things can be made?

Seems a somewhat obtuse question. How many things can you see with your eyes?

I’d be quite happy with the ability to hide a large chunk of these as a solution.

I was going to ask if anyone knows of a keyboard or extension that replaces the current emoji avalanche with just the basic / required ones?

Ideally there would also be a way to ensure all incoming displayed ones are filtered and normalised, at the very least to normal emoji colours for those times when some weirdo demands their posts get special attention because they’re highlighting their skin colour or fetish list.

Define basic required emojis.

Your recently used emojis are always the first thing you see on the left and they are organized with the little clock category icon so you can keep whatever you think is basic is there.

If you have such disdain for emojis, why even worry about new ones. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Emojis with different skin-tone colors are yellow by default, but you probably already knew this.

 

[polyphenol]

I love this but each variation has a Unicode designation so that everyone else sees relatively the same emoticon (except the gun because they don’t have them in CA). So if you custom make an emoji when you send the Unicode to another person they will just see the generic one.

Yes - I entirely realise that is how it is. But we can change characteristics of letters. ABC.

We don't have Helvetica-Black, Helvetica-Red, Helevetica-Blue. It doesn't seem to be wholly impossible to imagine some Emoji-2 standard that goes in that direction!

 

[jamie j.]

I don't want to be the "still no..." guy but still no vinyl‽ Seriously? But we now have ginger...

 

[CaptainV]

I like the addition of the donkey, goose and jellyfish. Good for Dutch - “je bent een ezel”, “domme gans” and “je bent een kwal”
