Emojis have been very successful for several months. These small pictograms have invaded our emails, our SMS but also our instant messengers (Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp etc.). Good news, the Message app is enriched with 4 new packs of animated emojis in order to make our messages even more attractive..
New smileys for the iPhone
No need to introduce emoticons ? These strange smileys have become over time a new mode of communication in its own right. Simple and easy to use, they make it easier to translate certain emotions than with words. As you already know, a drawing is better than a long speech.
At the time of writing, the iPhone keyboard has just over 1,000 emojis. But reassure fans of emoticons, Apple has just released 4 new packs of animated and 3D icons . What give iPhone users a wider range of expressions.
How to install these new emojis on your Apple smartphone
Among these new figurines, there are a few 3D hearts, stickers in the shape of an old Mac but also cute little yellow smileys . We will also note the arrival of new finger gestures. This should strengthen the popularity of these little symbols..
This new batch of emojis is available for free on the App Store in the form of 4 packs (smileys, hearts, classic mac and hands). To install them on your iPhone, simply follow the procedure described below
- Open the App Store
- Click on one of the thumbnails to download the new 3D emojis
- Then press the free button to start downloading emoticons
- Wait a few seconds for the application to install on your phone
- Then open the Message app
- Place your finger on the text field to trigger the appearance of the keyboard
- Click on the smiley icon
- Then select the emoticon you want to add to your message from the list
Please note these 4 packs are only compatible with iPhones with iOS 10. Unfortunately the new version of Apple's mobile operating system is available for the moment only in beta. The final version of iOS 10 should appear this fall with a new completely redesigned Message application and of course new emojis.
To delete one of the packs, simply place your finger on the shortcut icon on the iPhone desktop. After a few seconds all the icons will start to shake. You will then only have to press the small X symbol placed just above the image to delete one of the emoticon packs..
Note that these will only be visible on devices equipped with iOS 10. Suffice to say not many. However we imagine quite easily that Apple will integrate them at the end of the summer in its new mobile OS for the greatest joy of the fans of emojis.
