The new emojis have finally arrived, plus some old favourite have been redesigned too.

Talk of a new set of emojis has been whirling round for ages but this week they arrived thanks to Apple’s 10.2 software update.

The food and drink additions are on point with an avocado emoji finally arriving, plus there’s bacon, cucumber, kiwi, pancakes, a sushi box, a croissant, paella and a burrito.

There’s also a load of new professions represented now including scientists, pilots, teachers and firemen (or ladies).

Other additions include a robot, face palm, butterfly, juggler, gorilla, sick face, shrugging shoulders, owl, fox, pregnant lady and a rather freaky clown.
