[Rojaaemon]

[Apple emoji] hasn't changed the design of the [iMac emoji] since 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣2️⃣. [pile of crap emoji]

I don't understand how this site hasn't added emoji support to its forums yet.

It’s because they’re still running XenForo 1, which doesn’t have native emoji support.

Due the highly customised nature of a site like this it may take some time before they’re ready to upgrade to XF2. When they do it should enable the feature.

I'm so old, that in my days, they were called emoticons or smileys, and they were entirely made up of punctuation marks.

But to be honest, I don't get the whole emoji craze.

• Use of anything but the classic smiling, sad, or laughing one is highly ambiguous and I have no idea what you're trying to say (like if you send me a gorilla or one expressing a complex emotion, like crying but laughing but also wearing glasses and riding a shark). Like, what are you trying to say? Why don't you just write it down instead?
• Using them often makes you seem childish and immature, equivalent to TYP1NG EVERY7HING LIKE TH!S111

Seriously, when would you ever use an emoji depicting garlic? Or butter toast? Why would you ever have to use those? Since when is typing "dog" slower than opening up the emoji panel and scrolling through a quadrillion of emojis to find the one that looks like a dog?

I'm pretty sure the middle finger emoji is one of my most frequently used ones.

 

[Sasparilla]

Interesting. Emoji day, eh? Love this world.

What are included in the emoji set are defined by an international body (not Apple), Apple is just implementing them...just like Google does for their releases of Android etc.. Since it's Apple and we get updated versions of iOS it just means we get the latest before most folks in Androidville.

 

[Q-Dog]

Phew -- so many old whiners in here!

Facial expression existed long before language and written word; emoji is the best digital approximation of that.

Take a reality pill and get with the "modern" "trend" folks.

I don't do "trends" since by their very nature, trends are fleeting and eventually die out, only to be replaced by the next "trend."

 

[WaxedJacket]

Shoot emoji news straight into my veins.

 

[davebarnes]

I despise emojis.
They are a crutch for illiterates.

 

[joueboy]

Emoji and GIFs are my go to and I never used Memoji since then after playing around the when I got my new iPhone.

 

[ricktat]

Get off my lawn!!

 

[YaBe]

I'm so old, that in my days, they were called emoticons or smileys, and they were entirely made up of punctuation marks.

I still write them that way, it is a pity when the software convert them : ) ; ) : D : P

I don't understand how this site hasn't added emoji support to its forums yet.

they used to support it.. i have a bunch of old posts that had emojis in there but now they’re just squares (or some sort of blank)

 

[BlargKing]

When it comes to emoji at work, 61 percent said that they use emojis in a work context. 78 percent said emojis positively impact likability, 63 percent said emojis impact credibility, and 74 percent said emojis make positive news more sincere.

​

As someone who works for the military, putting an emoji in a work email is the fastest and most sure fire way to have someone come to my office and give me a 30 minute lecture on proper email formatting...​

 

[velocityg4]

I don't mind emoji's. I don't use them much. It's faster just to type what I want to say. Better yet dictate via Siri. Searching through 5,000 emoji takes far too long.

I'd much rather Apple improve Siri's dictation ability. Word accuracy could use improvement. Particularly add auto punctuation. Plus add a voice command for corrections. As it's hard to remember to say question mark, comma, period, &c while dictating. Also, it is annoying when I want to write out period but it places a period instead.

 

[Dan Holmstock]

Forget apple being doomed we are. lol

 

[shanson27]

I Type an emojis for the first time on MacRumors forum website. Nope, it doesn't work

81 percent of emoji users believe that people who use emojis are friendlier and more approachable,

..go figure

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[bbednarz]

The outrage over emoji sure is something... woof. Chill out people, if you don't like them then don't use them.

 

[neuropsychguy]

If only.. cave paintings took thought and talent to communicate with.

You're defending graffiti on natural formations?! ;-)

 

[eatrains]

Had no idea so many people hated emoji so much.

Yeah man, using the laughing face emoji instead of "haha or lol" really is a detriment on our society

*eyeroll emoji*

 

[citysnaps]

I think I just felt the Earth tilt a few degrees from all the emoji haters choking in unison.

Imagine...teeny-tiny emojis having so much power over some peoples' lives. Not healthy.

 

[alexandr]

there is an emoji popularity study? seriously? we're doomed.

 

[NufSaid]

I like using emojis to promote misunderstanding but the silly political correctness run amuck in the couples emoji makes it too much. There are so many emojis now I stop searching for new ones and use the same old ones because finding them is a pain.

Get rid of the couple emojis - they are useless anyway.

And before you start with the "homophobe" junk. I have employed, hired and select to even represent my business those who were homosexual WAY before even Obama and Hilary supported gay marriage. I would say WAY before it was even "cool".

as with everything else Apple, this place gives a very skewed idea of reality..

very few people hate emojis *.... but the ones who do tend to congregate at places like this.

* anecdotal but.. i’ve never met an emoji hater irl
