Apple to scrap Passwords feature next month for good 😱
But I can't remember them all? What are we going to do now?
Last updated 4th Aug 2022
Apple has revealed plans to get rid of passwords on its products from September, when the team launch iOS 16 alongside the rumoured iPhone 14 and macOS Ventura.
It is believed the tech giant will introduce 'password-less logins'. Instead of logging into a website using a password, users will be asked for a Passkey - that is authenticated using your fingerprint or Face ID.
But why scrap Apple Passwords?
This proposed new security process means Apple users have a login that simply can't be guessed or leaked and is just as quick to login.
Because there’s no password to type, phishing and other scams will become far less frequent.
The Passkey will be stored in the users iCloud Keychain, which already exists to keep note of your passwords.
These digital keys can’t be read by anyone, not even Apple.
It's reported that Apple’s goal is to have Passkeys work in conjunction with non-Apple devices too, such as Windows laptops and Android phones.
Every now and then we get an influx of new emojis added to our phones, and earlier this year iPhone users received 123 new emojis to make texting and messaging their friends that little bit more fun!
The latest additions include, a melting face, heart hands, biting lips, and a pregnant man. There are also multi-racial handshake options, and several new gestures including, palm up hand, palm down hand, and an index finger point.
Some of the more obscure emojis include three kidney beans, an empty nest, and a nest with eggs, coral and a troll!
Check out all of the Emojis that have complete different meanings to what you think:
1) Bowing Man 🙇
This guy isn't thinking, he's bowing! Although often mistaken for a man thinking or doing push-ups, this emoji is actually bowing deeply called dogeza in Japan.
2) Sleepy Face 😪
Although technically called 'Sleepy Face', this emoji isn't crying, the 'tear' is actually coming from its nose. This brings a whole other meaning to this 'sad' emoji.
3) See-No-Evil Monkey 🙈
While most people assume it mean 'oh dear' or 'oops', the 'See-No-Evil Monkey' actually part of the 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' proverb, hence the other two monkey emojis next to it.
4) Person Gesturing No 🙅
While it looks like the person could be doing The X Factor symbol, she is actually gesturing 'no'.
5) Face With Steam From Nose 😤
In a survey conducted last year 69% of the people asked perceived this to mean 'very angry/in a huff'. It actually means 'expressing triumph after great frustration'.
6) Tired Face 😫
This 'tired face' is often confused with the similar 'weary face'. Some also interpret it as a frustrated face.
7) Hushed Face 😯
Its proper definition is someone who should be kept quiet, but many believe it to be surprised or astonished.
8) Disappointed but Relieved Face 😥
Contrary to the upset meaning that many use it for, its true meaning is 'disappointed but relieved'.
9) Dash Symbol 💨
Whilst many think of this as a fart it actually means the fast movement of a person or vehicle!
10) Person with Folded Hands 🙏
No, this person isn't praying! In Japan, a folded hand gesture is commonly used to say 'please' and 'thank you'.
11) Poop emoji
Perhaps the most famous misinterpreted emoji, this little fella isn't actually a poop - he's a happy chocolate ice cream, duh. It was proven (by science) when a Twitter user superimposed the ALLEGED poop over the actual Ice Cream emoji and the shapes fit exactly.
12) Dancing girls
These are dancing girls of the rather more risqué persuasion than what you've been using them as. Sure, nothing says gals night out on the town like these two, but they actually originated as Japanese 'bunny girls', akin to strippers or playboy bunnies.
13) Sassy Girl
There's a Sassy Girl in all of us, but it turns out she's not actually flicking her hair like she just don't care in this emoji - she's actually an information kiosk lady. Who knew.
14) Aubergine emoji
While we know - WE KNOW - that popular culture dictates that this is, in fact a peen, you'll be sad to know that it wasn't designed as such and is actually just an Aub. Day ruiner or what.
