The emoji isn't only apt for now, but it's also very accurate. With everyone's mouths covered, the only true way for people to know you're pleased these days is to squint your eyes hard. It's pretty similar to other workarounds like a head tilt or a raised eyebrow.

The new emoji comes along with iOS 14.2 which comes out in October or November. Until then, you'll have to settle with the current face mask emoji.
