iMessage

In the heat of the moment, as we frantically ransack the default emoji keyboard for a little yellow face, desperate to convey an emotion that we know is probably too subtle or specific to have warranted Apple’s official attention, we die a little inside when we realize the perfect emoji for this situation…doesn’t exist. We so often settle for default emojis that capture a mere fraction of our full intended meaning, and it’s understandable—no one has really set out to solve this super important first-world dilemma—until now. Very Necessary Emojis is a project about unlocking a layer of who we can be, even if it's "just over text," because those of us who text a lot get it. We have needs! We have feelings we're trying to express here! We don't want to just throw out a crying-laughing face — we want to show you that your joke was 6.5/10 funny, and also kind of dumb at the same time (umm, for example, I mean). This iMessage sticker pack is for those who not only want more, but need more. And on that note, it's been just about five years since I released this emoji pack, and over 250 weeks of updates! Initially released with just 72 emojis, VNE now has almost 400, with a new emoji added every Friday. To all of you OG fans, thank you so much for enjoying this thing I made! And to all you newcomers, I'm so happy to say there's so much more to come!

Mew is under the truck
✨🥳I just turned 14 yesterday and I bought this with some of my birthday money and so far I LOVE it so much! I have some ideas though for example MORE pride flags and maybe a little pretty pink princess emoji and it can have color variations like blue,purple,red,etc. Also I heard this other guy’s/girls/persons idea for an assassin one and I personally think that’s such a GREAT idea so can we please get that in the addon pretty please! Also maybe a bouquet of different types of flowers like a little red,pink,white,black,yellow,etc roses and a little heart in chains or broken hearts of different colors! Also a magic staff and wand one also book stacks…I WANT THEM ALL! Like pink blue and yellow book stacks and other color combinations and verities of colors! Also idk why but I want a live salmon emoji! PLEASE ADD IT!!! I WANT THIS DANG THING SO BADLY YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!! That’s all my ideas so far I hope they all get added in someday!🥳✨ Update: different bow and ribbon emojis representing different things such as different types of cancer,heart disease,etc also a pokeball one would be nice and there variants like the ultraball and masterball also i want a meepbird (American woodcock) emoji so bad y’all! You have no idea who bad I want this thing PLEASE give it to me!

Mr. Juan!
This has to be the greatest sticker app for Apple! The emojis look so close to actual ones and you can use them for anything! I’ve seen a bunch of ideas on this list, and some have been decent, some have been trash, but there is one the kept coming up… the pufferfish sunglasses one! That one would be so cool! And maybe with a few different animals as well. I know you said in other reviews that you don’t want it to become just a bunch of random emojis, but I think you should still do the sunglasses pufferfish because of the support it has from so many others! Fantastic job on this app!Also, I’ve noticed people wanted to send these emojis in their actual text message. Maybe you could make an app that’s like this, but it’s like a “font” style of app? I know different fonts apps allow you to type in with messages, so I thought I would suggest that. Keep up the good work!

It’s gonna keep growing 100%, the suggestions just never end 😘 The Cool Pufferfish is actually on the list, but I’m saving it for something new soon 😜

Hey Aviv! I don’t know if you remember me but I was the one who suggested the gavel pounding emoji. I have thought up some holiday emojis for you so here they are. First I suggest a candy cane heart emoji. It’s festive and shows affection to others in a festive spirit. The second one I suggest is a snow globe emoji. I haven’t ever seen one before and I think it would be a good emoji especially for Christmas. Moving away from Christmas I suggest a menorah or a dreidel for Hanukkah since the normal apple emojis only have a bit of Hanukkah. Another one I suggest is a gingerbread house. I think it would be a nice addition to Christmas and a really good way to signify you are busy with the gingerbread houses. These are only some ideas that I have thought of so yeah. I also don’t want to keep you busy over the holidays and I know they take a bit to upload so you don’t have to add any of them. Anyways have wonderful holidays and happy new year if I don’t send anything by then!

I think there should definitely be some baseball-related and sports-related emojis! Update: Hey baseballboi, yeah the gavel emoji has been one I’ve wanted to do for a while—I was glad to see someone think it would be fun as well! As for the Christmas emojis, I try to make emojis that have more of a conversational or emotional use rather than just representing a holiday or an activity. Otherwise Very Necessary Emojis will end up being full of a whole bunch of items 😅

Needed one for today

(Literally was writing a whole suggestion review and then my phone went to the Home Screen and erased it all so here it goes again 😮‍💨…)So I needed an emoji today and yours have always been quite clean tbh, compared to the ‘others’… I do wish you had more options to choose from, but I’ll take what I can get, quality for quantity I suppose. BUT I needed one like the evil devil emoji: 😈 but without the horns or full purple. If u wanted a little purple for shadowing I guess that could work. Literally just a mischievous smirk or smile whatever u wanna call it, they’re the same thing. Like google “evil anime smile” and just that vibe. All of that just in the normal emoji style, not a devil. Idk why Apple don’t have it already but I’d love to suggest that one, feels quite necessary… 😈 (just doesn't do it for me. Like why is the devil the only one who can be mischievous? Why not a reg emoji? (😠 + 😌 = WHAT I NEED!) Thanks 😗.
