Arts+CultureNewsYou can now download and use multi-ethnic emojiSadly, there's still no option for the middle finger or interracial couplesShareLink copied ✔️April 9, 2015Arts+CultureNewsTextThomas Gorton After pledging to make emojis more ethnically diverse last year, then rolling out a preview of the update last month, Apple's new range of multi-ethnic emoji is finally here. The wait has been long, the struggle real, but from today you can play around with over 300 new emoji as well as a feature that enables you to modify skin tones. To download the new emoji, all Apple users have to do is update to iOS 8.3. If you're on your iPhone, you need to head to Settings mode, go to General and then hit Software Update. Other additions include same-sex families and 32 national flags for the patriots among us. Brand loyal tech geeks also get a shout out – there's an Apple Watch emoji in there too. But not everyone is happy with the update, which has switched the default emoji to a weird mustard yellow shade: Pretty sure these new emojis just look like a wave of jaundice hit the old ones... pic.twitter.com/KgpOBTfGOF— Dylan McKee (@djmckee) April 8, 2015 There is also the criminal absence of the middle finger emoji that everyone wanted: im not updating my iPhone for new emojis if there's no middle finger emoji— your bae's boyfriend (@TayWest) April 8, 2015wtf they don't have a middle finger emoji now I can't be a badass— Paul Zimmer (@epPaulZimmer) April 8, 2015 And more seriously, a distinct lack of interracial couples: Also, still no interracial couple in the new emojis?
