Apple is removing Emoji apps from the App Store
The applications of the Emoji Keyboard have their days numbered. This is what Apple has made known to the developers of this kind of applications according to severalrumors that are going around the net. This fact occurs due to the long list of applications that we can find in the App Store offering the same function: load our iPhone or iPad with keyboards with cute faces and emoticonsSomething that Apple sees unnecessary, since since iOS 6, the keyboard Emoji is built-in on devices.
The rumors arise after the publication of the alleged message that Applehas sent to the developers of these apps, which reads as follows: We are writing to let you know that your app, XXX, has been removed from the App Store because it is no longer needed to unlock the app. emoji keyboard. Since iOS 6 already offers Emoji for its users, your app is no longer compliant with point 2.12 of the App Store Guidelines
Apparently, this point was created to eto prevent the proliferation of applications and tools that are not very useful for users. More specifically for those that are no more than a simple link to a web page or those that do not provide any entertainment value For this reason, Apple has decided to do cleanup and start to delete Emoji apps We haven't been able to verify any removals yet, but if true, they may stop appearing on the App Store in the next few days for a good number of applications of this type.
But what does this mean? Our experience tells us that those users who have downloaded and installed the application prior to its removal should have no problem continue to use them, without deadlines or other limitations. Thus, the disappearance of these applications would affect users who would like to install said Emoji keyboards, who will not be able to find them in the store Apple applications Even so, there is no need to fear for the continuity of the smiling poop, the penguin or the smileys, and it is that are already part inherent of the latest version of the operating system iOS 6
If true, this would just be a cleanup measure to avoid duplication of applications and tools And we only have to access the menu Settings, General , enter Keyboard and select it in the Keyboards section to activate it. With this we will be able to use, through any social network or messaging service the database Emoji Keyboard, no need to install any other app.
The question is whether those other apps that extend that Emoji keyboard with new emoticons like Emoji 2 keyboard FREE, or those that form drawings made up of these cute little faces, such as Emoji Art , they will also be removed from the App Store And, in these cases they contribute something newWe will have to wait and see if it is it is a rumour or finally we see an effective cleaning of Apple App Store
