Twitter’s custom set of emoji, called Twemoji, has been updated with Emoji 5.0 to bring all new 69 emojis to Twitter’s platform. Out of the 69 emojis, 24 of them support five skin tone variants, 10 of the new emojis have a base emoji. What’s disappointing however is that the emojis can only be used on desktops. Twitter has not yet expanded the emoji support to the mobile platform. In other words, if you use the Twitter app on your iPhone or Android phone, you will not be able to see the new emojis. However, if you open the Twitter mobile website, you can use the updated emojis.
Some of the new emojis include zombie, a woman with headscarf breast-feeding, woman fairy and blown mind to name a few. According to Emojipedia, many of these emoji for this update “rely on characters which are part of Unicode 10.0.”
Automatic night mode is now available in the official Twitter client
The first-party Twitter client now has another great feature under its belt. Now you can set the app to transition between the standard white theme and the blue night mode theme automatically, based on the time of day. So if you're tired of having to manually flip between each to prevent sudden night-time blindness during an innocent midnight tweet, you can now rest easy knowing your eyes will be safe, if not from the ravages of Twitter, then at least from bright lights.
