Honestly at this point I’d be perfectly happy if all the tech companies could suspend all innovation and focus all resources on developing new Emojis. We need more Emojis and we need them now. Obviously I’m being sarcastic. But seriously we need more emojis.
Got a tip for us?

It may be a waste to you, but not a waste to others. But is this the old familiar song? Emojis or operating systems because we know apples’ development effort is single threaded across the entire organization. /s
Finally, the long national nightmare of not being able to represent Pete Alonso with an emoji is over.
In some apps, like Messages, you can type a word like dog, and then switch to the Emoji keyboard, and words associated with Emojis will be highlighted gold - tap one of them and it gets replaced with the corresponding Emoji, or in some cases you can pick from variants. It’d be nice if this was more widely implemented.

I am outraged - outraged - that skin tone is limited to humans - my cats demand that there be a dropdown menu to choose fur colors and patterns for the cat Emojis.
Well, they've long since killed the coolness of these

That's one defensive and presumptuous way to start a thread.

🚄🚅🚝🚆🚇🚊🚈🚉🚃🚋🚞 did i miss any? Seriously, I would love to see statistics on all emojis, how often they are used. Complete waste of space.
Emojis should be limited to facial expressions since those are the things that a hard communicate via text. Anyone can write “train”, “monkey” or “bubble tea” without ambiguity.
Perhaps I’m showing my age (or just my lack of patience) but at what point does this become a bit ridiculous?
I get that it was kinda cool (to some people) to put the smilies and stuff, but when it takes longer to find the emoji than it does to just type the word, then perhaps we need to rethink the whole concept

I just wanna know...WhoTF asked for a cockroach emoji?!?!
Seek help.

I can understand them having a dinosaur to symbolize that entire era, but when they start going into details with extinct animals like dodos and mammoths, I think they're starting to go overboard with those too... How often do these come up in conversations?
Honestly all their ingredient emojis could go as well. People only use eggplants because of penises and peaches because of butts. You don't write recipes with emojis rather than text and no one in their right mind types "Can you go buy a 🥦 please?"
Also stuff like how we have both notebooks 📓 and notebooks with decorated covers. 📔 WTF.

They can't even fix small bugs one of their own apps without sending a new iOS version, so this won't happen.
FFS, does anyone use more than a dozen emojis on any consistent timeframe? I maybe use one or two, ( takes longer to look up most of them than to type the word or phrase) though I’m not likely a typical use case and am therefore being generous.
This is what the slippery slope is. Once you become tolerant and accepting of reasonable levels of ridiculous, they just keep pushing it further and further until someone stops them.
