Enjoy the new Unicode 9.0 emojis on iOS right now with a simple workaround

June 26, 2016 by macjeff

Many of you probably already heard the news that Unicode 9.0 became official this week and that there were going to be 72 new emojis coming soon.

Although Apple is likely to add support for these new emojis in iOS 10 in a future beta or release update, they’re not yet available in iOS whatsoever, but in this tutorial, we’ll show you how you can still use them without a jailbreak on a completely stock device.

Getting the new Emojis on iOS

It doesn’t matter whether you’re on iOS 9 or even if you’re in the latest iOS 10 beta. Apple hasn’t added support for the new Emojis that are a part of Unicode 9.0 just yet. With that being said, anyone can benefit from adding these new emojis manually.

If you want to get them, you could certainly wait until Apple is good and ready to implement them, or you could follow these steps to get them right now:

1) Launch Safari on your iOS device and visit the following link to load the website with all the new emojis:

http://emojipedia.org/emojipedia/

2) Scroll down until you see the line starting with the word “emojis” just above the actual emoji images.

3) Highlight all of the Emojis by tapping and holding on the word “emojis” and then dragging the selector all the way down, then tap on the Copy button.

4) Next, you’ll open the Notes app on your iOS device and you’ll create a new note.

5) Paste everything into the new note.

6) Now to test it out, tap and hold on one of the emojis you see and then tap on the Copy button.

7) Go ahead and start a new conversation with someone in the Messages app and Paste the emoji into the text field of the app.

8) Tap the Send button and the emoji should send to that person.

They will be able to see it no matter what version of iOS they’re running because it was sent as a tiny image file. Both iMessage and SMS are compatible with sending images so long as your phone and carrier support it.

Wrapping up

You may not be adding a slew of new emojis to iOS’ built-in Emoji keyboard itself, but with this method, you can at least still enjoy sending the new emojis to people before Apple actually implements it.

They can be shared across a variety of platforms, including Facebook Messenger and other messaging platforms that support sending image files.

Are you excited to see if Apple adopts the new emojis in a future version of iOS 10? Share in the comments!

Zenge is void of points, timers, tutorials, move counters, and rating systems. They’re just a distraction from the art and sound.

Guide your ship through space and around obstacles by dragging points along its path. Your goal is to not only successfully make it from one station to the other, but also recuse every last astronaut along the way.

Mind the Gap! Learn English Language – not just Grammar and Vocabulary ( $0.99 → FREE )

Bvddy, Radar, WalletHub and other apps to check out this weekend

June 25, 2016 by macjeff

In this week’s installment of our Apps of the Week roundup, we’ve put together a list of unique apps and great games for you to check out over the weekend. Looking for a gym partner or tennis buddy? Bvddy can help. Going on vacation soon? Grab Radar for tips on the best places to visit. Keep reading for the full rundown.

Bvddy

Bvddy helps you discover new friends that play the sports you love. It’s kind of like Tinder for sports partners. So are you looking for a tennis buddy? Someone to run or do yoga with? A fellow gym rat? Bvddy will take your interest and skill level and find the perfect match. Then you can chat with them to coordinate your meeting, and locate nearby venues like yoga studios and soccer fields. Finally there is a review system to help weed out the bad sports. Bvddy is available for free.

Radar – Travel Smart

Radar is a new app from Yahoo that delivers personalized recommendations of sights to see, activities to try and restaurants to visit when you’re on vacation. The app sort of acts like a smart travel guide, with data sourced from several trusted websites across the web. You can filter recommendations based on individual preferences and time of year, create your own bucket list, view your itineraries, and get need-to-know tips from other travelers who have been there. This app is available for free.

WalletHub

WalletHub sells itself as the “first and only app” to offer 100% free credit scores with full reports that are updated daily. The app uses TransUnion for its reporting, and even offers 24/7 credit monitoring to warn you of identity theft and fraud. Plus you’ll get customized credit-improvement tips and personalized savings alerts. I know there are a bunch of these services out there, most notably Credit Karma, but WalletHub may be worth a try. Setup is easy, and the app is secure and well-designed. This app is available for free.

Twilight Struggle Mobile

The #1 rated strategy board game comes to iOS. Twilight Struggle puts the player at the center of the Cold War, the political and economic struggle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R that spanned 5 decades from the 1950’s to the 1990’s. You control one of the two modern superpowers, as they work to spread their dominance throughout the world via political influence and coup attempts. But if either side triggers nuclear war, it’s game over! This game is iPad-only, and is available for $7.99.

Rodeo Stampede – Sky Zoo Safari

Saddle up and get ready to wrassle with the stampede-iest critters this side of the Savannah, in Rodeo Stampede. Lions and Tigers and Bears are no match for this rodeo star. Armed with a lasso and a ten gallon hat, swing from the backs of stampeding buffalo, elephants, ostrich, alligators, and more. When the stampede’s over, the zoo begins! Fill enclosures with your four-footed friends and let your patrons gaze in wonder. This is one wild ride that you don’t want to miss. This game is available for free.

iPhone:

MailTime Pro - Email Messenger for IMAP, Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook Mail ( $2.99 → FREE )

MailTime reimagines the way you deal with email. It grabs your email threads and turns them into bubble chats, allowing you to cut through the clutter and communicate more efficiently. If you want to view the original email, just tap the bubble. MailTime’s smart inbox system also learns from your email behavior, automatically sorting email from accounts you’ve already interacted with into a separate tab, helping you quickly find the threads that matter. The app also includes a bunch of other handy features like the ability to quickly create and assign to-dos using the "@" symbol, warnings for messages that ramble on, and quick access buttons to cloud services.

Cutie Mini Monsters ( $2.99 → FREE )

What’s better than a bunch of regular monsters? Cute mini ones, of course! Your child is presented with more than 30 beautifully illustrated pages, each featuring an interactive monster that will assist them with recognizing and learning a specific number. They can flip through the pages on their own, or they can listen to the narrator sound out words for them. They’re also able to put together a collection of jigsaw puzzles.

Universal:

Puzzledrome ( $1.99 → FREE )

A palindrome is a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as it does forward. In Puzzledrome, the objective is to create palindromes by swapping tiles. Every column and row has to line up perfectly before the puzzle is complete, and you must try to complete the task in as few moves as possible. The game includes 303 puzzles, special tiles, and an arcade mode.

Subtraction Flashcard Match Games for Kids in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grade ( $3.99 → FREE )

Subtraction Flashcard Match Games creates a fun environment for your child to practice subtraction in with its eye-popping visuals and positive encouragement.

The difficulty can be adjusted by changing the number range and by showing the cards or keeping them face down. The game also includes a bubble popping reward after each round.

Photo Reminders ( $0.99 → FREE )

It’s so much easier to recall important events and ideas when you can actually see them, which is why we’re recommending Photo Reminders. All you have to do is snap a photo of something related to the event or idea you want to recall later, and then add a title and note. The photo will be turned into a large thumbnail, which can easily be viewed, edited, and shared from the main screen. Additionally, Photo Reminders allows you to attach audio notes and alerts to all of your events and ideas.

Cutie Monsters Jigsaw Puzzles ( $2.99 → FREE )

Just like Cutie Mini Monsters, your child is presented with more than 30 beautifully illustrated pages, each featuring an interactive monster that will assist them with recognizing and learning a specific number.
