From smiley faces to cheeky aubergines, emoji now form a key part of many people’s daily messages. Now, iPhone users have access to 117 new emoji, with the release of iOS 14.2.
Emojipedia explained: “iOS 14.2 now supports 3,292 emojis. This is up from 3,175 which have been available until now. “This is the first public iOS release from Apple which includes the updated Face with Medical Mask with smiling eyes on the masked face, first seen in beta releases last month.” The update includes two new faces - a smiling face with a tear, and a disguised face.
Gender variations for people have also been expanded, allowing users to choose a male or female wearing a tuxedo, as well as a male or female bride.
