Apple iOS 14.5 has more gender-inclusive emojis

DateWednesday, February 17, 2021 at 11:49AM

New iOS updates mean more emojis. This time, the 217 new emojis coming will include more gender-inclusive symbols. There will be options for both women and men emojis to sport beards. The update will also let you choose the skin tone for the couples' emoji.

There are three new smiley options, including the Exhaling Face, Face With Spiral Eyes, and Face in Clouds. For those who want to let others know they got vaccinated for COVID-19, Apple updated the Syringe emoji to take out the blood. There's also a new Heart on Fire and Mending Heart emoji, which sports a bandage on it. 

And for branding purposes, Apple updated the Headphone emoji to make it look like its new AirPod Max headphones.
