After much anticipation, Apple today released it's iOS 10.2 software update - with 72 new emoji.
The new list includes a face-palm, the long-anticipated avocado and a range of different career emoji that can be selected as either male or female.
There are 72 new emoji included in the update, which were approved by the Unicode Consortium back in June 2016, as part of the Unicode 9.0 update.
Several new hand images have been introduced, including a 'fingers crossed' emoji, and 'face-palm' character.
New career emoji include a firefighter, welder, astronaut and even rock star – all of which can be selected as male or female and in a range of races.
The long-standing red-dress dancing woman has also been joined by a male equivalent, wearing a blue suit while pulling disco moves.
A range of new animals has been added, including a fox, duck, squid and gorilla.
And fittingly for the current 'killer clown' craze, a new creepy clown emoji can now be used.
