Emojis are saviours! All of us while receiving or sending a text message, prefer to use the picture characters to avoid possible misinterpretations. Quite often, the tech experts would unveil new emoticons to intend that tone, which words fail to do mostly. To keep up the creativity, Apple recently released about 158 new emojis as part of its latest iOS 12.1 update. People with red hair, a bald person, a miniature hippo, a series of new animals are some inclusions that iPhone users have noticed. Every emoji fairly self-explained its addition; except for one— ‘Face with uneven eyes and wavy mouth’ also now popular as ‘woozy face’. Netizens are confused!

Emojipedia announced on its blog stating, “With the release of iOS 12.1, iPhone and iPad users have access to six new smileys, redheads, people with curly hair, a softball, skateboard, mango, bagel, and kangaroo emoji for the first time.” As iPhone users updated their phone, they were only puzzled about the ‘woozy face’. Its cheeks are rosy, the mouth is wiggly, and the eyes cannot decide if they are to remain open or closed. What is it? Your reaction to an awful pickup line? An upset stomach? Keep guessing!
