Apple's latest update features 21 new emojis

What individual emojis mean can be up for debate and of course you can use them in your own way.

In 2021 researchers looked at 1.7 billion tweets to try and understand how the meaning behind emojis has changed over time.

Emojis are regulated by the Unicode Consortium, which is an independent body that oversees their creation.

They approve the designs for each company, including Apple, Google, Samsung and Twitter who then go on to create their own versions of approved emoji.

The pink heart emoji is one of three new hearts included in the release, along with light blue and grey versions.

Shaking face, meanwhile, could be used for shock reactions or to indicate lots of movement.

Other new emoji are pea pod, root ginger, angel wing, maracas, moose, donkey and a khanda - the symbol of the sikh faith.
