iOS 10 Loves Emojis

With the release of the highly anticipated iOS 10 for iPhone, there are many new features that support Apple's claim that this software update is "the biggest release of iOS ever." Setting aside the applications of voicemail transcripts allowing you to turn your voicemails into worded messages, iMessage receiving it's own App Store, and many other features, the one that most of us have been awaiting most is the release of new and updated emojis. In the new iOS 10 update, there were 632 updates to emojis, including some updates to existing ones, as well as some completely new ones.

These are some of the most notable emoji changes for iOS 10:

There are numerous updates to the animal category of emojis. This elephant is an addition to the animal family, as well as others, including a chipmunk, turkey, poodle, unicorn and more. The new and improved animals are not only cute, but very detailed and perfect for texting. Who knows, maybe you'll find the perfect time to use a puffer fish and finally be able to!

The new face emojis are the most updated of all. The new faces are much more life-like and can only make conversations more personal. This new emoji of a girl frowning is a perfectly relatable depiction of how we all feel at some point, and now we can show our friends and family when we feel this exact emotion. The update includes new configurations of all the previous face emojis with some new faces added as well.

The family section of emojis also had a big update, and now includes a variety of same-sex parents and one-parent families. Any combination of family with one to two children is now available in the update. As the world's families become more diverse, iOS 10 is updating to include all of them.

Another big addition to the emojis of iOS 10 are new sports such as surfing, swimming, and golf. Not only are there multiple new sports, but there are now both male and female athletes. iOS 10 puts much more emphasis on females than ever before, by including female athletes and many other new female emojis in the group.

If you didn't already know that Apple makes the infamous Apple Watch, this emoji brings everything full circle. Now you can reference your Apple Watch with an emoji in your iPhone. This new emoji obviously also supports the strategic and almost excessive marketing Apple has for all their products.

The iOS 10 software is a very controversial update due to the numerous changes it installs on your smartphone. Some people say that the new update is confusing, while others are saying it is immensely more useful and efficient. One thing that isn't controversial? With the new emojis included in iOS 10, you will never have dull and boring texting conversation again.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
