Facebook has enriched its Messenger
app with more
diverse set of emojis on the Web, iOS and Android. The Company said the new emoji was introduced to do a better
job with gender. “We are diversifying the
genders to create a more balanced mix that’s more representative of our world. Now,
using Messenger emojis, you will see a female police officer, runner,
pedestrian, surfer and swimmer for the very first time, and we will keep
rolling these out”, Facebook states.
What you might find most
interesting is the support for skin tone selection. Facebook Messenger now lets you set the
skin colour you prefer your default emojis to be. You can also change your
skin tone anytime in the settings or do a long press on any emoji to toggle the
skin tone.
Additional feature is the roll-out of the
placement of emojis within the app, which on the Web app before now was buried
behind.
