Apple emojis to be available in six different skin tones

Emojis are getting more diverse. In Apple’s next update of emoji icons, a number of the tiny cartoon people are now available in six different skin tones, the CNN reports.

The male and female faces, as well as thumbs up/thumbs down icons, will be available in the different colors. Other people emoji, such as princesses and construction workers, will also get more diverse options. Tapping and holding on an emoji person will bring up the new skin-tone variations.

The diverse people are just some of the 300 new emojis included in the latest developer version of iOS 8.3. The new icons won’t be available to the public until the update is released later this year.
