In addition to these spooky new emojis, the update will also include some fantasy related emojis such as elves, mages, fairies, merpeople, and genies. Â While the additions were announced this week, phones likely won’t see the additions to their keyboards until sometime this fall. Â Typically support for new emojis rolls out with operating system updates for phones. Â For instance, the Unicode 9 update was released in June of 2016, but didn’t hit iOS or Android devices until fall of that year when new software updates were pushed to iOS and Android phones.
The zombie and vampire emojis are the perfect addition to a Halloween and horror lover’s keyboard. Â Which of these new emojis are you most excited about?
