Those who have updated their iPhones to iOS 8.3 have already seen the futurity : Among the many update out today is a redesign emoji keyboard with new and improved ( and “ diverse ” ) emoji . Basically , the plot of every Wes Anderson movie just got way well-off to recapitulate .
The Apple iOS 8.3 update features redesign emoji ( the dancing young lady are now mode more Playboy bunny - like ) as well as some young additions ( like two twelve more flags and an Apple Watch , of course ) plus a streamlined interface to more easily take the ones you want . The emoji keyboard now has an countless roll that earmark you to flick horizontally through all the screens , as well as much dear organization through the tabbed icons at the bottom ( the burger remove you to right to food ) .
And of course , the feature that ’s go the most attention : you’re able to now choose what color you want to make your emoji heads and hand and characters like the running / walk humankind . entreat on a face will present your option of five instinctive skin tone in addition to emoji icteric . There are also more politically right class with two dads and two moms and every possible grammatical gender combination for sons and daughters ( no single parents and two child only , please ) . Although you ca n’t transfer the skin tones on those . We Are All Lego People , I guess .
But be careful ! If you text these new emoji to a poor soul who has n’t update to 8.3 ( or heaven forbid , someone without an iPhone at all ! ) they ’ll get a garbled mess satiate with case placeholders and poor translations . On the right is what I texted and on the left is what a non-8.3 headphone receive . Do n’t make the same mistake I did , texting people who do n’t have iPhones .
Although I have to say it is very unknown contemplating exactly what shade of skin to “ color ” someone , the good news is , now we can text thing we ’ve never been able to text before .
