The 🍎🗞️ widget has suddenly appeared on my desktop - did I accidentally press something - or is this the U2 debacle reframed for 2024?

@JohnPhilpin My emoji-blindness is affecting me here. The Apple pepper-pot widget? Torch widget? The second makes more sense, but it doesn't really look like a torch.

Hmm, copied & pasted it into a DuckDuckGo search, which suggests it's a 'rolled-up newspaper'? Doesn't look much like that to me.

Emojis are stupid (G,D, & R).

@devilgate You can mark the emoji, and have the iPhone speak it out for you. At least you could do that before. I’ve used that technique before.

@odd I was just trying to find that, but I couldn’t. I remember seeing something to the effect of ‘Speak Selection’ somewhere, but can’t find it.

Whilst I wouldn’t disagree with you - they do help to brighten things up :-)

@JohnPhilpin I see that, but it doesn’t help much in the other direction!

@devilgate Hm, me either. Maybe they took it away. It’s probably under Accessibility settings, but it’s a lot there.

@JohnPhilpin I think that one would have been more obvious to me as a newspaper, certainly.

Or we have words…

And you can always use both.
