A number of the emoji available to Apple users are being made available in more diverse options as part of a software update from the tech giant.
The latest developer beta of iOS 14.5 – an early version of software which will eventually be released to iPhone owners – has added skin tone variations to emoji featuring couples for the first time.
The couple kissing and couple with heart emoji will now both be customisable, with users able to choose between a range of skin tones for both people in the emoji for the first time, making them more representative.
