Apple replaces gun emoji with water pistol and introduces 100 other characters (BBC)
Apple has launched a series of more than 100 new and updated emojis.
It's replaced the gun with a water pistol and put out new designs it hopes will be more inclusive.
The company says it wants to "ensure that popular emoji characters reflect the diversity of people everywhere".
The new green and orange pistol emoji looks more like a toy and will replace the black and silver revolver, but some people have mocked the swap on Twitter.
