New emoji

By far one of the most visible change in iOS 10. 2 could be the introduction of over 100 new emoji for the iOS keyboard. These have been well trailed by beta versions with the software, but include a array of different new symbols.

Among the highlights certainly are a facepalm, a shruggie and a selfie symbol - the total list is below.

Although these new emoji have become on your phone, you won't manage to send them to Android users - and so they won't show up on other their mobile Facebook or twitter feeds. They do already work with web versions of Facebook and also Twitter though.

All the emoji have also been redesigned to appear a little sharper plus more detailed.

More iMessage effects

You can find two new full-screen effects inside iMessage, adding to those a part of iOS 10.

Full-screen effects happen once you hold down on the send out button in iMessage, then motion picture over from Bubble to Display screen, at which point you can easily swipe between them.

The new effects are love - which creates a huge heart - and celebration, which you'll want to see below.
