Emoji crossfire: Microsoft is also changing its gun emoji, but in a different way
The many new Microsoft emoji
The switch is part of a large emoji overhaul that Microsoft has been planning for a while. The company wants to ensure that users would be able to communicate with no confusion, which is why it decided to re-design all of its smileys according to the standards of the Unicode Consortium. The end goal is that the emoji you send out would look similarly and represent the same emotion on the receiving device, no matter what model it is (for example – Samsung's latest rolleye emoji is pretty off).
In other words, it seems iOS users should be careful with their new water pistol – sending a message like “I am going to *water gun* you” may have a very different meaning on a non-iOS 10 device...
