Twemoji 2.5 Emoji Changelog

Twemoji 2.5 Emoji Changelog

Twitter has today released an update to their Twemoji emoji set. This update adds no new emojis, but does change the appearance of a number of designs.

Versioned as Twemoji 2.5, this release brings a number of emojis closer to the designs used on other platforms.

A number of changes implemented today relate to the direction an emoji faces or the colors used in a design.

Changed

πŸ‘ Clapping Hands has more impact with extra, darker marks
