Inclusivity Upgrade
The latest batch of Apple emojis includes 71 variations of interracial couples. The move comes following a change.org petition to diversify the Couple With Heart and Kiss emojis. Cheers to Apple for making texting more inclusive for all phone users—and whomever they choose to love!

The app Hype Simulator claims to educate you about digital media fame by offering the full influencer treatment—tons of followers, DMs, and even the chance to be canceled (yay?). Nothing appears on your real social media, and your fame lasts 15 minutes, after which you can start again. And get canceled again.
