Emojis or emoticons, as you want to call them, have become a tool used by millions of users every day to express your feelings, moods ... although in recent years GIFs have been eating away at him, thanks to the almost unlimited variety offered by the different public libraries of this type of file.
The emoji of the gun, depending on the person who receives it, whether or not it is accompanied by other emojis, and in the context in which it is placed, can motivate movie-worthy performances which can lead to more than one problem to the sender. A couple of years ago, Apple swapped the gun emoji for a water one, a step that Twitter and Samsung have also recently taken. The fourth to do so has been Google. But they are still missing.
Now the only thing missing is that both Facebook and Microsoft choose the same path and decide once and for all to change the pistol / revolver emoticon for a squirt gun, as Apple, Google and Twitter have done. Although Google has not yet made the change, it has announced that it will do so soon, replacing the image of the revolver with an orange water pistol with a tank on top.
This change should have come togetherSince if the revolver emoticon is sent to an Android smartphone from iOS, it will receive the revolver emoji, not the water pistol emoji, which is the one that was originally sent. Be that as it may, what they should do once and for all is use the same emoticons in all operating systems, web services and / or applications, to prevent each user from receiving a different emoticon regardless of where they send from, which would also facilitate on many occasions its compression.
