I was surprised a lot when Apple changed the grinning face emoji in iOS 10 to a boring smile. For me and my friends the original version was a sort of mischivious smile, but definitely positive. Seems a ton of people had negative connotations with it, and it got voted out by majority opinion. The new one conveys a totally different meaning for me, and as such I have basically stopped using it. I tend to use "Face With Stuck-Out Tongue & Winking Eye" now instead... Also: browsing Emojipedia I just realised that the Smirking Face is supposed to be smirking... I always interpreted it as annoyed or bored... talk about ambiguity...
