Apple is always looking to diversify their emoji collections. In the past few updates, we’ve seen new pictograms specifying everything from lesbian moms to personalized skin tones for emoticons. They ditched the gun emoji. And most usefully, added a taco. But this latest update seems to be taking things in a slightly more absurd direction? We can now send each other djinns, elves, a T-Rex, zombies, and somebody doing yoga. [Though, to be fair, I did find this GIF in an article with a more predictably-Apple headline: “Apple’s new emojis include a breastfeeding mother and a woman in hijab“.]
But when will finally have a button for breastfeeding hijab-wearing same-sex-parenting dinosaurs with variable skin tones? Until that day arrives, Silicon Valley still has a long way to go.
