Summary | The new Apple update comes with redesigned emojis and people are devastated. The changed look of the emojis makes many users sad to the extend that they feel like they "have lost a friend", one person on Twitter writes. There are also a few new emojis, most notably: all emojis are available in multiple skin shades and most emojis now exist in a male and female version. There is also an emoji of a homosexual couple now.
