The company has also added 100 new Unicode 9.0 emojis that features more diverse characters, new professions, expressions like face palm, shrug and fingers crossed, and new representing sports, food, animals and more.

Other than this, iMessages gets a new Send With Love and Celebration full-screen effects. There is also a new Preserve Setting in the Camera that helps you save your last mode.
