Search function PLEASE.
In Line it suggests stickers / emoji when you type a related word. Hated it at first, but quite like it now. This could be useful in the right circumstances.

"IOS10 is our biggest emoji release yet. Can't innovate anymore my ass!"

Be interesting what the literacy levels will be in a few years. I'll just stick to old fashion spelling .

How about numbers and symbols on the same keyboard as the letters and a more convient way of switching between keyboard languages. Most non-native English speakers use 2 keyboards (All of 6.65 billion of them)

I seriously hate the Emojis. They are the worst looking smilies I have ever seen short from the old vBulletin forums. Even MSN had better looking ones.

Not only that but they keep adding to the library images that no one will every use, who is going to use a Kiwi split in half or a rhino . Just adds to the clutter and visual noise.

Or just a dude.
I'm a dude... If you don't use emojis because you are a "dude" you are missing out.

Emojis are okay. Not the biggest user, but I see their purpose.
Today it has become a joke. There are so many of them, the rare times I'm using them I just stay with the ones I know, because it would be a hassle to look for other ones in this giant pool of useless Emojis.

Would bet 90% of Emoji-usage comes from like 15 of them.

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.

In future, Millenial will become President of America. Old literary dinosaurs will be sent to Emoji Re-education Camp.

And they're still ugly, sterile, boring as ****, and lacking personality.

If you're going to add emoticons, at least make them look good.
