(WSVN) - New and more inclusive emojis have been approved for a 2019 release.
Now it’ll be a little easier to say what you mean with an emoji as the next update will have an extra 230 to choose from.
Some of the new emojis include people with disabilities with manual and electronic wheelchairs, a hearing aid, an emoji signing and even a service dog.
The emoji of people holding hands now will have different options including two men and two women holding hands with different hair colors and skin tones.
