As of today , Apple has informed us that they are now removing any trace of emoji from the App Store . This means :
– All young apps related to emoji will be rejected in the followup process
– Existing apps that do not provide extra functionality will be perpetrate from the App Store ( e.g. Emotifun , iEmoji pluck already )
– Existing apps that DO ply additional functionality ( for example Typing Genius ) will be command to provide an update to Apple at once
Not included , at least by our tout , is an prescribed explanation for the sudden emoji crackdown . They ’re fun ! However , a subject can be made for go on phones like this within regional standards . I entail , how many of the ten-spot of grand of people who set up these emoticons on their phones did so with the full knowledge that around here , only up - to - date iPhones could even receive them ? This confusion , I ’d guess , is what Apple is trying to avoid , though they may be acting with a heavy hand .
The TypingGenius guy wire says that his crippled update has n’t been processed by the App Store ’s High Council , or whatever , and that it wo n’t slay previously installed unlocks . It ’s a courteous hope , but in the long rivulet this pretty much look like the end of the route for ( non - jailbroken ) emoji fun . — Thanks , Gary !
