Apple brings back its sexiest emoji

You complained and Apple heard: The peach butt emoji is back.

When Apple released the first beta version of iOS 10.2, it made the peach emoji look more like a normal peach and less like a butt. The tweak was coupled with other changes, but tinkering with the peach butt ruined sexting and flirting for all.

Don't freak out just yet.

While the internet lost it after the peach butt briefly left us, not everyone has been affected. The update is still in beta and is only available for developers and public beta testers. The renewed peach butt emoji won't update until Apple releases its final version of 10.2 in the coming weeks.
