118 Fresh Faces: The Emoji Update You Didn’t Know You Needed

Ready to spice up your texting game? The emoji family is getting a whopping 118 new additions, and let’s just say, they’re not holding back on variety this time around. Fancy telling someone ‘no’ without typing a single letter? A head shaking horizontally has got your back. Want to give the ‘yes’ with extra pizzazz? Shake that head vertically! And for those moments when you just need to talk about produce or fungi (because who doesn’t?), welcome the lime and brown mushroom to your emoji repertoire.

Then there’s the majestic phoenix rising from the digital ashes to add some fiery flair to your conversations. And let’s not overlook the symbolic broken chain – because sometimes, freedom is just an emoji away. But perhaps the most heartfelt update comes with the array of gender-neutral families, reflecting and celebrating diversity in our everyday chit-chat. Get ready to scroll just a bit longer to find the perfect expression – the emoji keyboard is expanding!
