How about the ability to customize what emojis we want to see. Not the recently used but a the ability to "x" off ones we never use.

First semi-literate: "Its a laugh isn't it?"
Second semi-literate: "What is?"
First semi-literate: "That non-verbal-communication Emoji of a face showing toothy-smile"
Second semi-literate: "Oh. Yeah. Yeah, that's a laugh"
First semi-literate: "Ha ha. Face. It funny"
Second semi-literate: "Yeah. Phone. Ha ha. Phone make funny face"

Don't worry, all the white people are up front by default and the different skin colors can only be accessed through a long press - they don't take up extra space.

Isn't it the yellow emoji people by default and all other oclours require the long press?

Please give us an Emoji search function first before adding more of these creepy things....

Type a word, then switch to the emoji keyboard - if it thinks there are matches, the word will tutn yellow/orange, and it'll show just the "matching" emoji. Tapping one of them replaces the highlighted word. Not the way I'd implement it, but workable.

After first giving iTunes an emoji-themed makeover, Apple is continuing its celebration of World Emoji Day with a preview of all-new emoji characters coming to iOS, macOS, and watchOS later in 2017.

The new emoji previewed today by Apple include Woman with Headscarf, Bearded Person, Breastfeeding, Sandwich, Coconut, T-Rex, Zebra, Zombie, Elf, Star-Struck, Exploding Head, and more. All of the emoji shared today were previously included in the new Unicode 10 standard released in June.
Apple didn't specify a launch date for the new line of emoji characters coming to iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches this year, but it's expected that they will arrive sometime around the public launch of iOS 11 this fall, or soon thereafter. World Emoji Day celebrations are also extending to the iOS App Store, where Apple said that it has highlighted apps that showcase fun things to do with the smartphone characters.

Earth shattering update from Apple! This is even news?
 
Why are (some) people singling out breastfeeding as politically correct? It’s a bodily function! That’s what mammaries are for. Most mothers do it, it comes up in conversation when you know/have babies. It makes sense to have an emoji?

I like the T-Rex.

Can someone explain to me how a woman breastfeeding her child is less offensive than a gun emoji?

You’ve got to be kidding. Things can’t have gone this wrong.

Breastfeeding isn’t offensive at all and is natural/normal and harms nobody whatsoever?

Well, they did have to push that announcement of the new Mac Mini out of the way to tell us about the emojis...

Eh, it is news from Apple, there's not a lot groundbreaking to report today, and the emoji articles always seem to get a lot of traffic.

Just remember folks, there's a team of designers at apple that after years of study, practice, college and building up a portfolio of amazing work, are now spending 12 hours a day sitting in front of an iMac drawing emoji full-time until they just can't take it anymore.

My connections inside Apple provided me with a shot of one of said designers at work:

Apple didn't add anything, it's the Unicode consortium that decides on new emojis.

just stick with yellow emojis all this race colour is stupid how does yellow emoji offend anyone lol
Click to expand...
Nobody is offended.
The reason for the other faces is because the yellow emojis represent emotions and the people emojis represent people.
They aren't interchangeable.

Not sure why you are surprised. Politically correct Apple was going to add a Breastfeeding emoji eventually. Honestly I can't wait for the male Breastfeeding emoji. :p

Emojis are a standard not driven by Apple. Apple just creates their representation. If Apple's looked crappier than Microsoft's you'd be hauling them over the coals for dropping the ball and letting others do UI better.

No, it really doesn't offend most people. It's just the white people who spend each and every waking moment trying to prevent people from getting offended that come up with this stuff. Normal people have no problems with it.
