Accessibility: Accessibility will be a major facet of this year’s new emoji with wheelchairs, guide dogs and deaf people.
- “Social media is hugely influential and it’s great to see these new disability-inclusive emojis,” Phil Talbot, from the disability charity Scope, told BBC News. “Up to now, disability has been greatly underrepresented.
Animals: You’ll see flamingos, sloths and an orangutan emoji.
Food: Waffles, juice box and onions.
Religion: You’ll now see a Hindu temple in this year’s list.
Release: The emoji won’t appear on your phone until the fall, which is when Apple and Google typically release their software updates.
