But the peach emoji now looks less like a bottom and more like and actual peach.

And there are a lot of people out there who are not happy.

The hashtags RIPBootyPeach and RIPpeach emoji are trending as user mourn the passing of the symbol that many used in flirty texts.

One disappointed user tweeted: “RIP to the old peach emoji. Thank you for getting me A LOT of sex. You will be missed when I describe my butt to potential suitors xoxo

Alix tweeted: “noooooo they're changing the peach emoji.”

In the absence of the booty peach, we can expect text flirting by text to become a lot less subtle - with aubergines, bananas and even the filthy finger symbols becoming the rude emojis of choice.

To make up for this monumental loss, caused the the 10.2 update, Apple have added a facepalm symbol, a shrugging man, bacon and CLOWNS – which may not be the wisest addition in the midst of the Killer Clown Craze.

It’s not the only update that had upset emoji lovers recently.

Apple recently swapped the gun emoji for a water pistol a bid to stop the glamorisation of firearms, but many were outraged.

 New Emoji's released for iOS 10.2 including the clowns, squids and bacon.
