Facepalm is one of our favourite brand new additions and we have a strong feeling we're going to be using it quite a lot in the future!

It was commonly used as a 'bum' emoji as people think it closely resembles a rear end. Kim Kardashian even had the emoji next to her name on Snapchat!

People have taken to Twitter to share their sadness at the loss of such an iconic emoji...

Soon there's going to be some very perplexed apple engineers, looking at the emoji frequency data and googling "peach consumption decline"

Are you mourning the loss of the classic peach emoji or are the brand new ones enough to fill the void?
