The latest update to Apple’s iOS, 10.2, features some new goodies like a TV app and new videos widget, but the most important thing, and all that people on the internet care about today is one emoji that appears among the 104 new emojis added to the system: a gorilla.
Forget the new emojis like a shark, facepalm, a clown, a whiskey glass, fingers crossed, an astronaut or an avocado. It’s all about the gorilla that everyone WANTS TO BELIEVE is our dearly-departed Harambe.
According to Unicode, the emoji is “just a gorilla,” but try telling that to everyone already going #DicksOut on the internet…
New iPhone update is adding a bunch of new emojis including one for #harambe. If that isn't a great start to Tuesday I don't know what is pic.twitter.com/bAurt8Qgqi
