EXACTLY!
I do use them on occasion but having to scroll through so many makes it a chore.
Instead of "Recents", Apple should have "Favorites" that stick and don't get shoved away when you use another emoji.
Got a tip for us?

On the contrary, my life is complete now
My MBP's emoji bar will finally be fulfilling its purpose
Just an emoji "Favorites" instead of "Recents" would do the trick nicely IMHO.
I don't usually pay much attention to emojis or emoji news when I've moved on to stickers and Giphy, but poop emoji will always be dear to me. They've had frowning poop emoji throw pillows for quite awhile so it's about time the real deal was created. I wish we had poopicons for the forum.

True, but suppose you want to. With over two thousand five hundred emojis and no signs of slowing down, the issue has become finding a specific one. You have to admit it's getting a little over the top. We'll soon have a dozen different arrangements of hearts on faces, and we've entered the bold new era of various emotions experienced by poop.
Edit: That poop isn't just frowning, it looks positively terrified. Based on my experience this morning, I understand.
So I'm a nerd and I looked it up
Other than size, weight, and internal coefficients of restitution ("springiness" of center) the only difference I could find (and the only one that would be visible when scaled to the same size) is color. All levels of softball sanctioning bodies allow optic yellow whereas baseballs must be white. I'll guess they'll use that color as the differentiation of the emoji.I suppose maybe the number of stitches or relative radii of the leather straps could be different but my brief searching didn't say anything about that being the case (or even consistent within any type, just nothing speaking to it at all).
Why is this news? I'll tell you why this is news. Because a lot of people click on these articles, if only to say how much emojis are a waste of time, that they don't care and that people who use them are so inferior because of it. You may not like emojis and do not want to see it as news, but you still give them what they want by complaining on these articles: clicks. People might think the best way to stop these emoji news articles is to complain, but the best way is probably to just stop clicking on all these articles in the first place.
BTW, I like emojis, sure there's a lot of them that I find totally useless, but the faces, hand signs, etc. have a purpose.

Frowning Poo emoji?
It's official. People are off their ****ing rockers.

The serious work of the consortium continues. Government agencies are members to ensure that their languages, currency symbols, and the like are represented in a worldwide communications standard. The work of the consortium is completely justified if, by using these standards, a commitment to pay a certain amount of USD doesn't arrive as a commitment to pay in HKD. Businesses that are members are almost undoubtedly the ones putting the time and effort into emoji - joint development of these things saves them money, and it's important that a smiley face sent from an iPhone doesn't arrive as a frowning pile of poo at Gmail.
Since full consortium membership for a government or large business is $18,000/year... a bit of quick math. 2017 U.S. budget: $3.21 trillion. Let's say 10 U.S. government agencies are members of the consortium (seems a lot to me, but you never know). $180,000... Presuming you're wealthy enough to have paid $1 million in taxes, you contributed $0.0006 to the consortium (give or take a couple of decimal places).
It's part of the new poomoji subsection. More coming up in next beta, including yellow, softer ones to illustrate when you ate undercooked chicken, and black ones usable after a night out binge drinking.
Frowning poo is much needed (to compliment normal poo situations). Also I'm a big fan of the three hearted emoji, which will allow girls to express their exact feelings better than existing emojis, and smiling cape as it's cheesy but still could be funny in certain situations. These add ons are much better than those from the last article lol.
Side note: emoji's that add expressions will always be better than emoji's that add objects; since those are unnecessary. Apple's attempt to get people to put in emoji's instead of real descriptive noun's is a total fail. It only works on Instagram posts.

Social engineering. Does it sound more professional now?

I've given up on using emojis for the most part. Too many of them, too hard to find specific ones, and they keep adding more. I like the old ascii days with simple smiles
I feel exactly the same. They work when there’s a limited choice that’s quick to browse. The are so many variations of the faces now it’s ridiculous. 75 by my count and that’s before you get to the stupid devils, cats, ghosts and skulls. Don’t get me started on the posing ones in 6 different skin tones now because, I guess, PC...
It’s like Unicode Consortium are basically trolling us at this point. In my opinion they f*ed up but can’t go back on it now. It’s not like there’s any logic or reason behind what’s in there anyway. So they arbitrarily chose a kooky Japanese emoticon set to include in their international text standards? Riiiigght. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like the freezing one and the celebrating one. The rest seem completely unnecessary.
We're going to need a new way of organizing these... IE, frowing poo could be something you get at by tapping and holding on smiling poo? Because it already takes awhile for me to find the emojis I want.

Yep! I am on one keyboard only. I like having slightly larger keys on the bottom row to replace something I don't use.
