One Of The New Apple Emojis Has People Feeling Confused Over What It Actually Means 🤔

With more than 2,800 emoji available to smartphone users, it’s not surprising a few—like the infamous eggplant 🍆—caused a stir over the years.

Now one of the 158 new digital images released by Apple with iOS 12.1 on October 30 produced mixed reactions from users.


People aren’t quite sure what the facial expression means.

The “woozy” face emoji was part of the new release and has created a discussion on Twitter about what it is trying to convey.

The emoji, looking almost between a grimace and a blush, is described officially as “woozy.”

Emojipedia explains it is a “face which may be showing signs of being tired and emotional, i.e. drunk”. Others are interpreting it as anything from a stroke to biting your tongue accidentally.

Twitter users tried to guess what the face could mean.



While others have already put the emoji to good use.



And others simply feel Apple have run out of good emoji ideas.


Along with the update, users now have access to new graphics including redheads, people with curly hair, a softball, skateboard, mango, bagel and kangaroo emoji.


The flag representing the United Nations was also added.


The emoji had been previously approved but hadn’t been available on iOS until this update.

A version of this article originally appeared on Press Association.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
