Waiting for new emoji is a game no one likes. Thankfully, Apple understands our pain and has teased a preview of 12 new and redesigned emoji we can expect in iOS 10.
The updated emoji include more gender diversity like a woman swimming, surfing, and cycling — options previously only available as male emoji. Other emoji improvements include a woman as a private investigator, a construction worker, and a single mom. The same goes for new male emoji, like a single-dad one that will come to life in iOS 10.
iOS 10 will also bring a rainbow flag emoji and will replace the pistol emoji with a water gun. These new emoji are just another reason to get pumped for iOS 10 — the new operating system coming this Fall that will let you hide default Apple apps, use an improved iMessage, and more. It's also another sign that emoji will continue to become more inclusive and diverse.
Check out some of the new emoji ahead, and start counting down the days till you can use them.
