This, it's getting ridiculous looking for these things. Or at least when you type out the emoji action show it as an option on the predict keyboard.
This works in Japanese, so the functionality is already there. It just needs to be enabled for English and other languages, and I'm surprised that it hasn't been done yet.
 
Pretty easy to see who the old, grumpy people in here are :) Sometimes I'll have conversations where the majority of the sentence is in emoji's. "But, but... that would take forever." Go to the Frequently Used tab and you can quickly see a good variety of your most popular used emoji's. Within 3-4 taps you can put together some hilarious combo's. Emojii combo's is where it gets interesting :p
 



The Unicode Consortium recently approved 72 new emoji for inclusion in Unicode 9, set to be released on June 21. New emoji range from expanded smileys and people to new animals, food, and sports.

Notable smileys include rolling on the floor laughing, drooling face, and nauseated face, while the people/body category gains shrug, selfie, and face palm. New animal emoji include gorilla, fox face, deer, shark, and owl, and some of the new foods include avocado, potato, croissant, pancakes, salad, and bacon.

There are a line of new medals, objects like a scooter and a canoe, and emoji to represent boxing gloves, martial arts uniforms, wrestlers, fencing, juggling, and more. Emojipedia has shared mockups and a full list of upcoming emoji.

The emoji above serve as simple mockups and are not representative of what the actual emoji will look like on various devices, but Emojipedia has created them in the Apple style. Apple and Google's designers will actually custom design emoji based on the Unicode Consortium's guidelines for each character, crafting them to fit in with existing emoji.

Though the Unicode Consortium is releasing Unicode 9 on June 21, the new emoji will not be available on iOS and Mac devices until Apple implements support for them, which can sometimes take several months. Apple currently supports Unicode 8, which introduced emoji like taco, burrito, unicorn face, and popcorn, along with emoji skin tone modifiers.

With the release of Unicode 9 on the horizon, the Unicode Consortium has already begun considering candidates for Unicode 10, with dumpling, takeout box, fortune cookie, orange heart, sled, and more under consideration.

Really? Emoji? How about fixing the health app so that there's not 3 instances of the Apple Watch that I can't remove? Apparently that's too much to ask for for a YEAR old product. SMH!
