David Bowie emojis included in latest Apple software update

A new update for Apple’s iOS operating system includes David Bowie emojis.

The iOS 10.2 update comes complete with a new range of emojis, including male and female characters complete with Bowie’s iconic Aladdin Sane lightning bolt facepaint.

They are part of a profession selection that includes firefighters, painters, doctors, scientists, pilots, and others.

Users will be able to make the David Bowie emojis shrug their shoulders, cross their fingers and even face palm.

The new iOS update is available via Apple here.

A compilation featuring the singles of David Bowie is to be released next month.

Titled Legacy, the collection will include a selection of the late icon’s most popular tracks including Space Oddity, Ashes To Ashes, Ziggy Stardust, Heroes and The Jean Genie.

A previously unreleased version of Bowie’s Life On Mars? will also feature, which has been remixed by original producer Ken Scott specially for the compilation.

It’ll launch on CD and deluxe 2CD on November 11 via Parlophone, with a 2LP edition set for January 6, 2017. Pre-orders for all formats are now being taken via Amazon.

Bowie passed away in January aged 69 after a long battle with cancer.
