Agreed. Not one of Apple's best moments. They definitely need to simplify that oyster and add a pearl!
i disagree - it's pretty much on point. and you don't see the pearl anyway when you eat them)
Never said they were.
It's about allocation of resources. Apple doesn't have an infinite hiring budget. But they clearly thought emojis were important enough for iOS 13.2.
If we would’ve just kept everyone yellow and genderless we wouldn’t need all these ridiculous combinations. At the rate we’re going, we’ll soon need a couple depicting a Latin-American cougar female and her younger Anglo lover.
Also, if they’re going to keep adding emojis every 17 seconds, at least give us the option to the hide/delete/organize in a way we see fit for our personal use.

It's absolutely essential to add emojis if you want software that works well. Apple doesn't create the emojis, it's part of the Unicode standard which Apple adheres to. Not supporting Unicode correctly can lead to all kinds of issues.
These threads always a spectacle when Apple adds new emoji. It’s the same as adding compatibility for any other Unicode character so it doesn’t just show up as a box. Never understood why anyone here is so bitter about emoji, of all things.
(The #1 answer seems to be Apple’s incompetence in other areas—granted—but it implies that their graphic designers and their engineers are even remotely working on similar things…)

this conversation never ends. i'm with you though - until my mail works properly i don't give a st about emojis.
Ever notice that the people who hate on emojis are usually terrible at understanding that people think differently than them? Especially online?
Emojis help clarity and understanding. They help bring back the non-verbal cues lost in online communication.
I think people who have trouble empathizing (understanding others, not sympathizing) have trouble seeing the benefit of deeper-than-verbal communication.

right, 'cause people who do use emojis are so openminded and progressive... especially online?
no no, that's an oyster. like a mussel, but different.
Empathy is just understanding others.
It has nothing to do with progressiveness or conservativeness.
It is a very different thing than sympathy.
Improving your empathy is one of the most OP life skills imaginable.
Understanding (while not necessarily agreeing with) the person you’re dealing with can help literally everybody in literally every field.
yes, yes and yes. While my mails need to be pulled on my own, my HomeKit can‘t be controlled outside of my local WiF, I‘m happy to hear that there‘s someone who integrates more emojis so I could tell everyone how excited I‘m about this.
i could agree more, just not sure how emojis tie into that.
Like I said, I’ve noticed strong correlation with emoji-hate and an utter failure to understand that everybody thinks and experiences the world differently.
