Apple previews 'holding hands,' other emoji updates planned for this fall

I have my Emoji keyboard switched off. Such an annoyance to circle through 4 languages to have it sowhere inbetween.

Personally I don't use emoji much, (aside from the various face ones now and again) but I appreciate Apple's efforts to ensure that for people who use them they are more inclusive.

I believe anyhing that reduces clarity of communication is a waste of time.
the very least Apple could do is make the emoji keyboard searchable, as there is a tonne and a half of useless dreck in there, but in the end I will just use English within the limits of my poor spelling, grammar and keyboard skills.

Exactly my point. Why would anyone ever use half of the crap? Why would I ever need the number 5 in a square tile?

There must be a PhD in how this came about.

No PhD required. Diversity is defiance of ‘normal’ it tolerates everything except ‘normal’.  We now exist in spite of… not because of… We have let ourselves become a Spiteful species whilst pretending we are the opposite.
