It was already known that those responsible for Emoji they wanted to end racism or lack of Ethnic diversity on their famous faces, and today we know that Apple is going to include those news with iOS 8.3.
In the past betas we found changes in the design of the "Emoji" keyboard and even duplicate or absent Emojis, finally in the second beta of iOS 8.3 the news of the most international keyboard, a keyboard that we use and understand no matter what country we are from.
The novelties consist of to be able to choose the skin color of each icon, regardless of whether it is a face or a hand, in all of them we can give them a significant color that suggests whether we are Asian, European, white, black, mulatto or yellow.
And it is that until now all the faces were white except that of the man in the turban that was of a darker color, and this was something that although it seems silly should change as soon as possible, since I do not think that a person of color would It is very funny to use faces that represent you in the wrong color, it loses the raison d'être of the icon, in this way we will have more variety to express ourselves and even to identify ourselves.
The new selection method consists of holding down a face to display a strip in which we can select the color of the skin by sliding our finger towards it and separating it from the screen when we are on the desired color, just same as the way to put accents and others.
This new keyboard it will look like this on our devices when iOS 8.3 is released:
Finally and as a curiosity, it is worth mentioning that Apple has not forgotten the technological innovations of its own hand and has added IPhone 6 and Apple Watch emojis, Emojis that I am sure we will use in some situation.
How cool! Sounds like a good update to me. In this way it will be adapted to all users.
Today marks the 60th anniversary of the birth of Apple founder Steve Jobs.

It is still sexist, the girl is in pink and the boy in blue, they do not have all the tones of human skin, there will be ethical groups that will feel victims of racism. (Note the irony)

Hi !, I just installed the beta 2 of iOS 8.3:… and I don't know if you have noticed (or at least I have not seen it mentioned in blogs), there is a slight modification in the mobile data menu, since a Now I get the possibility to select 2G, 3G and 4g (and also if we turn off the selector the name of it changes between Voice and Voice and Data).
The bad thing is that it is only compatible with users of the same system, and now every android sends an emoticon it comes out yellow 😡😡😡
