David Bowie emojis included in new iPhone update

David Bowie has been immortalised in brand new emojis which have been rolled out with the new iPhone update for iOS 10.2.

The figures of new professions such as firefighters, astronauts, teachers and more come in the new emoji pack – along with a character resembling Aladdin Sane-era Bowie; complete with lightning bolt.

Acting as a template for various emotions, users will be able to make the David Bowie emoji shrug his shoulders, cross his fingers and even face palm.

In fitting Bowie gender neutral style, the emoji comes in both male and female form.

iPhone users will be able to update by clicking here.
