Apple releases second public beta of iOS 14.5, iPadOS 14.5, tvOS 14.5, watchOS 7.4

I am so tired of new emojis. I remember a science fiction story written over 40 years ago where people could no longer read, but instead had what we would now call emoji instead. It may not be fiction much longer the way things are going.

Really need to make emojis larger when in line with text. It is sometimes too difficult to make out exactly which emoji was sent. The size is fine when there's no text.

I just said this earlier today when I was talking to a buddy about the new gender neutral emoji's. They are so small unless they are sent by themselves with no text that it's kind of pointless. No one would really be able tell what they were supposed to be ( bearded woman ) .

I think you can count on it.
Remember 1959 movie “Time Machine” and the future where books and reading weren’t needed since they were replaced by the ‘spinning rings.’
So I guess Apple is just doing it’s part.

Yeah. Too many people are mentally lazy. Whatever is easiest.
