Apple Releases 398 New Emojis Including Yawn, Period, And Wheelchair

ByAimeé

Emoji has just released 398 new Emojis with the latest iPhone update to communicate all your most complicated messages without touching a single letter. They’ve also updated a number of classic icons to make them more gender-neutral, added emojis that consider inclusion, as well as combinations amongst couples to show interracial relationships.

There are now emojis showing people walking with a white cane, in wheelchairs, robotic limbs, and other accessibility tools, like hearing aids.

It’s a big world, and Emoji has a symbol for almost everything in it at this point:

Amongst all the new woke and aware symbols, there are also a lot of fun new food and object emojis, for when you need to say something about period blood or golf carts for some reason, though hopefully not in combination:

As well as a gorgeous oyster emoji, meant to signify the beautiful female reproductive system, complete with a pearly cl*toris.

But one of the most appealing new options is that many of the popular figures now have a gender-neutral center, rather than just a “man” or “woman” binary. They’re called “neutral” and they’re beautiful:

Sometimes you don’t know you want a gender-neutral Frankenstein Monster until you see it.

There’s a number of jobs in the emoji pack that were once indicated to be only held by men, and that’s also changed. Now a Genie can be neutral, a fairy isn’t necessarily a woman, and a detective doesn’t have to have a beard:

And here is the wide array of couples of every gender and racial variety, because people date all types, not just other Lego shades:

In fact, one of the new features will also allow users to mix and match two people and select their skin tones:

Love is out there! Emoji says so! 

Finally, there’s a bunch of fun food and beverage options added, whether you want to eat some falafel or suck on a playground juice box:

What’s really crazy is that even with this update, there are still so many snacks to cover. Where’s my bowl of cheddar Goldfish?
