Emojis give every WhatsApp group message and Insta caption life and we can’t actually remember what we used to do before them (write in full sentences? No one knows).
Now we have them, we for real can’t do without them. I mean, what would we do if we couldn’t respond to dinner queries with a single, beautiful pizza emoji or send the sarcastic kissy face emoji after making fun of our mates publicly? Plus, how could we possibly post our vacay spam without literally all of the summer emojis? Nightmare.
The problem is, our super witty/passive aggressive/emotional messages can sometimes be lacklustre when the expected emoji doesn’t actually exist (high five emoji, I’m looking at you).
Fear no more, soon you’ll be saying *waving hand* emoji to a plethora of shiny, new emoji ready for action. 69 brand new guys including everything from a mermaid (yass) to yoga guys (yass again) to broccoli (no).
They’ll be yours for the spamming from mid to late 2017, which we get could be any time between July and December, but... they are coming. To celebrate, here are the emojis we are most excited about... and after that, check out our guide to emoji etiquette - it's not as easy as it looks.
�Grinning face with one large and one small eye’
When bae says you be acting crazy, you can say no you’re not and add this guy.
�Face with open mouth vomiting’
Whenever anyone asks you how you’re feeling the morning after when they already know.
�Zombie’
See above.
�Shocked face with exploding head’
Because our mind is always blown and people need to know that, visually.
�Face with one eyebrow raised’
Oh, have you really left the house already? That’s not what your Snapchat location says.
�Breastfeeding’
Wins for feminism and woman everywhere!
�Person with headscarf’
And again!
�Merperson’
I like to think mermaid emoji will join palm tree emoji, bikini emoji, and sun emoji in every future vacay post.
�Person in lotus position’
Whenever there’s any heat in a WhatsApp group or the comments of a post, you can be the most chill with this passive aggressive yoga guy. Or perfect for literal yoga, of course.
'Redhead'
No emoji yet… but come summer 2018 (fingers crossed) we should have a red headed emoji for our flame haired friends - �bout time.
We’re so ready for these… Although we’re still working on what magic we’re going to create with the dinosaur emoji, the hedgehog emoji and the brain emoji, but they’ll find their purpose in time.
Oh, and one more thing: Hey, emoji guys – where’s the mic drop/tumbleweed/eye roll emojis at?
