Apple has added gender neutral emojis in their new iOS update. According to online emoji library Emojipedia, iOS 13.2 adds a whopping 398 new emojis to the mix.
Additionally, Apple has modified 265 existing emojis, featuring 255 emojis presented in “a more gender-neutral fashion.” Emojipedia notes that the changes are “more consistent” with how non-profit organization Unicode Consortium, which chooses the new emojis that will be released, defines “person-focused emojis that do not specifically cite a gender.”
On top of the new emojis mentioned above, there will be 67 new “accessibility-focused” characters, mixed-race and mixed-gender couples, on top of eight new animals, a falafel plate, and more!
