Upset The latest Apple iOS 12 updates for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch have not added any emoticons? You can now flip that frown. (There is an emoji for that.)

The iPhone maker will soon add 70 new emoji to its popular mobile software in an upcoming update of iOS 12.1. Notable innovations include an emoji with a party hat and streamer, a swan, a llama, a bagel and a cupcake.

Also new: more variations on people, now adding more options with red hair, gray hair and curly hair, as well as a new emoji for bald people.

The new emoji are not really a surprise. The Unicode consortium, which is the nonprofit group that ensures that emoji and other texts are standard across platforms, has announced 157 new emoji. earlier this year, including the aforementioned animals and hair variations.

Apple has since announced that it would add some of these new emoji in July World Emoji Day. The iPhone maker is also working with the consortium to add more disability-related emoticons as part of the upcoming Unicode update in 2019.

Although Apple has not provided an exact release date for iOS 12.1, the fact that it is launching the new version and making the update available to those of its public beta is heralding a exit in the near future.

If performance improvement at speed up your old device did not convince you to upgrade to iOS 12, maybe the new emoji will be.
