Sometimes emoji speak louder than the words they represent. Still, the emoji keyboard can be lacking. So Isla and I came up with 12 pictures that should help you in your day-to-day texting life. Download them from the story and text them to your friends (sorry, we haven’t yet convinced Apple to create another keyboard family!). If I had my way, I’d create about 100 more emoji for my life — I mean why isn’t there a hotdog??? Feel free to add your ideas to the dream-emoji-list (a.k.a. comments section) below.
To use these emoji, click on the name of the image (the red text) you’d like to download (it’ll open in a new window), then copy or save the emoji to your phone’s photo library. Now you can insert the image into your text messages!
