iOS 9.1 arrives with over 150 new emojis

One step closer to removing the written word completely

Apple has released iOS update 9.1 to the public, and with it we are now one step closer to never having to use words to express ourselves again. 

The new update packs more than 150 new emojis, including the long-awaited taco emoji. Perhaps the most important addition in the bunch, however, is the new middle finger emoji. Finally I can tell someone to f*ck off without actually having to say it or having my phone autocorrect to "Duck Off."

Other features in 9.1 include an update to Live Photos, which now senses when the iPhone is raised or lowered to prevent recording unncessary moments. And, of course, you've got a host of fixes. Below is a look at the release notes:

  • Live Photos now intelligently senses when you raise or lower your iPhone, so that Live Photos will automatically not record these movements
  • Over 150 new emoji characters with full support for Unicode 7.0 and 8.0 emojis
  • Improved stability including CarPlay, Music, Photos, Safari, and Search
  • Improved performance while in Multitasking UI
  • Fixes an issue that could cause Calendar to become unresponsive in Month view
  • Fixes an issue that prevented Game Center from launching for some users
  • Resolves an issue that zoomed the content of some apps
  • Resolves an issue that could cause an incorrect unread mail count for POP mail accounts
  • Fixes an issue that prevented users from removing recent contacts from new mail or messages
  • Fixes an issue that caused some messages to not appear in Mail search results
  • Resolves an issue that left a gray bar in the body of an Audio Message
  • Fixes an issue that caused activation errors on some carriers
  • Fixes an issue that prevented some apps from updating from the App Store
