Apple rolled out its first developer beta version of iOS 10.2 on Monday, which quietly killed one of the sexiest emoji.
The new update includes access to Unicode 9.0, which includes a bunch of new emoji, including bacon, the shruggie and clowns (why?). But it also changes the look of some classics, such as the peach emoji.

The new peach emoji unfortunately looks a bit more accurate, which means it looks a lot less like a butt. Say goodbye to not-so-subtle emoji flirting.

The update is only in beta and intended for developers, so you can still hold onto your peach butts for a short amount of time, anyways.
