Facebook has added and redesigned more than 1,500 emojis for diversity and to “better reflect the world we live in”. The social media giant says that almost 10% of all messages send in Messenger include an emoji, so to allow people to better express themselves using it, they have redesigned some of them.
Additionally, Facebook will now also ensure that the emoji you sent from one platform will look exactly the same to the sender, irrespective of the platform — PC, phone or web — he or she uses. Previously, some users reported seeing broken emoji on Messenger on various platforms, or the emoji being replaced with the native emoji set of their devices.
For the iOS Messenger app, Facebook is also introducing a new emoji picker that makes it easier to jump between various emoji categories and find the appropriate emoji that helps you in expressing yourself better.
Do you use Facebook Messenger regularly on your iPhone or iPad? Or do you just prefer to use iMessage?
