69 new emojis just arrived on iPhones - and we've ranked them all
Emojipedia
On Tuesday, Apple released brand new emojis as part of iOS 11.1. There are 69 new characters, and 239 new emojis in total if you include skin tone and gender variations.
To get the new emojis on your own phone, open your settings app, tap "General," then look for the second tab down titled "Software Update." The option to update your iPhone to iOS 11.1 should appear there.
The new emojis are a long time coming: The characters were approved by the Unicode Consortium back in March, and the final list became public in June. Emojipedia has been covering all the new emoji updates this year, and has the full list of every emoji in every skin tone.
In honor of their arrival, we've compiled all the emoji contenders and ranked them from worst to best. The criteria for the ranking was pretty subjective - mainly, how they made us feel and whether we can actually see people using them in real life. There aren't detailed explanations for most of the rankings, but we do offer a more in-depth analysis for the top 10 on this list.
