Kim Kardashian-West finally managed to "break the internet" when her new tech venture temporarily crashed Apple’s App Store.
The reality television star on Monday launched her own emoji app, the aptly named "Kimoji."
The app features a series of more than 250 emojis illustrating things relevant to Kardashian-West’s life, including her famed backside and crying face.
Kimoji quickly became the most popular downloaded app just 24 hours after being released.
WOW!!! Thank you so much everyone who downloaded my new KIMOJI app! pic.twitter.com/D0Rqf1d6CT

As a result, the App Store became "overwhelmed," as Kardashian-West’s mother and manager Kris Jenner put it.
