Everyone loves emojis--they just make messages so much better. Apple just recently released its new iOS 10 update, which included some new emojis and updated some old ones. They are still, however, missing several emojis that I think are key to be able to send more realistic messages to each other. Here are a few emojis that I think really should be included in the next emoji update, including suggestions from some friends and coworkers.
1. A Napping Person
A person with their head down on the table or a person fully clothed lying in a bed would be nice. People are so into napping these days I think it would be nice to indulge them, wouldn't it?
2. A Butterfly
This is a request from my coworker, who really likes butterflies, but I have to agree with her. The only insects currently represented in the emojis are ants, bees, caterpillars, and ladybugs. So not the fun, pretty one. Get it together, Apple.
3. A Sloth
Flash, flash, hundred yard dash is NOT represented in the emoji collection. I am biased because sloths are in fact my favorite animal, but just think of all the perfect occasions you have to send a sloth emoji to someone that you have missed because of Apple's negligence. For example:
"Want to go out and do this thing with me that you don't even want to do? With me, your friend who only messages you when I need something?"
CUE SLOTH EMOJI. SEVERAL OF THEM. Perfect excuse.
4. A Cupcake
"There is a slice of a cake, a full cake, and an ice cream cone...but what if you don't want to give someone a full on cake for their birthday? What about those times when one cupcake is all you need?"
Enough said.
5. Guacamole
Seriously, where is the guac?!?! Everybody loves guac--always a fan favorite at parties. I'm thinking a nice heaping bowl of guac with a chip in it would really just make the emojis that much better. Side note: there also isn't an avocado emoji...
6. A Margarita
Because after a long day at the office, what's better then asking the girls out for drinks? But, instead of using words, you can use PICTURES! Because, as was previously stated, emojis make everything better. So do margaritas.
7. A Tuba
Because sometimes, you just feel like a tuba: lumbering along in life on the fringes of society, hoping that someone will come along and ask you to be a part of their life. Fourth grade me always wanted to play the tuba, and even though I never got the opportunity, having a tuba emoji will make me feel that much better.
8. An Acoustic Guitar
Right now there is only an electric guitar emoji, which is fine, if that's your style. But its a shame that all the quiet rockers out there, all those bedroom superstars, cannot be represented accurately with an emoji. So come on, Apple. Help us rock out the right way.
9. A Sandwich
"I honestly don't understand why more people don't love sandwiches." My best friend says it best, and I'm sure she would be overjoyed if there were a sandwich emoji, along with millions of other people haha. What kind of sandwich-hating people do they have working there at Apple?
10. A Witch's Hat
Because sometimes, someone is just being too witchy and you need to tell them to stay in their lane...through emojis. Savage? Maybe. Useful? Definitely.
