On Wed., Apr. 8, Apple released its iOS 8.3 update, bringing several bug fixes, and of course, the new Emojis.

Emojis are those little symbols that are often sent over text, showing several different people, activities, and emotions.

In this update, Apple completely redesigned the Emoji keyboard, along with adding several new Emojis. The biggest part of this update is the addition of racially diverse Emojis.

Now, texters can choose between six different skin colors, including pale white, white, tan, yellow, brown, and black. This answers the long time requests asking for Emojis of different skin colors.

In order to access the new Emojis on an iPhone or iPad, one must take these steps:

First, you need to update the iOS device you are using to 8.3. This can be done by going to “settings,” then “general,” and then tapping on “software update.” Then, update the software.

Second, if you do not already have the Emoji keyboard enabled, you can go to “settings,” then “general,” then “keyboard,” then tap on “keyboards,” and finally push “add new keyboard.” Find the keyboard labeled “Emoji,” and then proceed to add it.

If you already have the Emoji keyboard enabled on your iOS device, then the new Emojis will be on as soon as you update to iOS 8.3.

These new Emojis are also available for those using Apple Mac computers running on OS X version 10.10.3 or later.
