Girl Power! The Newest Emoji Available on iOS 10 Have Been a Long Time Coming

While you're waiting to download iOS 10, check out the preview from Apple of the 12 new and redesigned emoji we can expect to see.

The updated emoji include more gender diversity like a woman swimming, surfing, and cycling — options previously only available as male emoji. Other emoji improvements include a woman as a private investigator, a construction worker, and a single mom. The same goes for new male emoji, like a single-dad one that will come to life in iOS 10.

iOS 10 will also bring a rainbow flag emoji and will replace the pistol emoji with a water gun. These new emoji are just another reason to start downloading iOS 10 — the new operating system already out that will let you hide default Apple apps, use an improved iMessage, and more. It's also another sign that emoji will continue to become more inclusive and diverse.

Check out some of the new emoji ahead.
