So serious question, they're adding a softball, how can you tell a softball from a baseball when both are scaled to emoji dimensions?

Picture? I would imagine the softball might be a different color or have different stitching. Still esoteric, yes. But I'm sure the handful of people that would use the softball emoji will know what it is and for the rest of us we won't care just like we don't care about the rest of the characters.

Getting paid for absolute garbage and contributing exactly nothing useful to society.

Who are you to decide if something is or isn't useful to society? How do you measure useful?

 

[Chupa Chupa]

They should spent a little of their time to come up with categories that actually make sense

They had plenty of time but even more beer.

He doesn't use it, therefore it's useless to society..

ITT: I don’t use them so I’m going to bash them and everyone who does because they’re beneath me.

Wow the comments here are something else

Getting a bit out of hand. Too much to scroll through.

Hey, if this gets people to update iOS, then that's a good thing!

 

[Bryan Bowler]

Crappy news!

Seems we've come full circle back to hieroglyphics.

That’s really what they are: 21st century hieroglyphics.

I definitely use emojis more than I thought I would when they were initially released but one thing is for sure - I never feel like I need more of them.

We are at the stage where we should be able to choose which emojis are displayed in the emoji-picker. It's great for the OS to suggest others as we might need them, but really each individual user is probably only ever less than 5% of the available emojis.
Here's a trivial example: There are flags for every country and a large number of language/skin colour/cultural-specific emojis: these are items that I will never choose - I should be able to remove them from the picker to make it easier to use the ones that I want to use.

If we are going to create a universal world-wide logogram, Why not just adopt Chinese, half the world already understand it and the definitions have been around for centuries. Right, young people always want something new, what a waste.

It would be great if people just ignored the news that doesn't pertain to them instead of coming here to bitch about something they don't feel worthy of being news.

Because pictures.

Slow news day, and a Friday. Time to post an emoji story to keep people coming back all weekend.

Dear Apple,

Please give me a way to FILTER my list of emojis. The cable company lets me remove channels from my channel list. I should be able to remove emojis from my emoji list. I have never used any of the family emojis, I don't want to see them. Lots of people want to remove the middle finger emoji from their emoji list so they never accidentally send it. This way, I can get my list of emojis down to a reasonable amount to peruse.

Actually, hieroglyphics are much more advanced form of communication though. We, modern humans, are just now beginning to develop graphical form of communication in the form of emojis. This is child play comparing with what the ancient people had.

 

[c0ppo]

Hey if you don't like them, don't use them.

I never was a big fan of them, and really never used them but now me and my secretary, as a joke, try to communicate in nothing but emojis when we have to text each other.

Me and my ex-secretary never used to talk much either. Not even emojis.

 

[GeneralChang]

The unicode consortium has finally figured out a way to stay busy, evidently.

 

[Marzzz]

Ever since I installed Bitmoji, I couldn't give a flying poo about all of this...

 

[tito2020]

I took a poo and it looked sad lol.

 

[Bboble]

What is it with all this crap? (I'll show myself out...)

This is where the frowning poo response is perfect!

 

[naeS1Sean]

The more the better, in my opinion. I would be able to use less GIF's. lol

I would like them to be organized better as new ones come out, though.

 

[gixxerfool]

Am I the only one that finds the emoji replacement to be less than stellar. I put in specifics and it won't find them even though they are there.
