Skype has been getting ready for the Valentine’s Day weekend, and with the latest updates for its Android, iPhone, and iPad apps it comes with some new love-themed features.

An all-new Love tab brings you emojis and emoticons specially crafted for the occasion (including a new set of emojis featuring custom compositions from Sir Paul McCartney, which should help you “express different forms of love through music”). And if you want to share other emotions, you can do that more easily too by searching through the various available emojis and emoticons.

The Droid Turbo 2 employee edition started receiving the update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow back in December, but for some reason it took Verizon this long to release the same software to the public.

The new software comes with Now On Tap, App standby, Doze mode for better battery life, the new and improved app permissions system, adoptable storage, the slightly revamped Do not disturb mode, expanded volume controls, Direct share, and Attentive Display now part of Moto Actions. After applying the update, you’ll be on build 24.14.9.

The two events will thus occur during the same week, with the introduction on a Tuesday and the start of sales on Friday.
