With the new iOS 13.2 update, Apple added non-binary emojis. I support their addition of gender-neutral emojis in their software update.

Since Apple added new non-binary emojis, users don’t have to identify themselves as feminine or masculine.

Before the update, it is understandable that people may have been upset because they may  have a hard time choosing which emojis to use, and nobody should go through that.

The new update from apple will show all people are welcomed, and people are able to use these emojis to express themselves.

Adding non-binary emojis makes it easier for people who identify as neither feminine or masculine to text other people.

While I support them adding the emojis, I think Apple should’ve done this much earlier.

Since Apple is one of the first companies to add more diversity to their emojis, they are a great examples for others because their example will encourage them to include all people.

The new addition expands the inclusivity and diversity of the emoji library.

Apple’s addition is leading the way in inclusivity in emojis, especially for varying groups of people. I hope what Apple did will spread diversity and inclusivity so all can people feel equal, including the LGQBT+ community.

Adding emojis to their software may help all people to feel equal. In the future, more people should be represented in emojis. Including groups such as people who have disabilities or unique jobs will allow more people to express themselves through emojis.

Overall, Apple did a great job with this update by showing it cares about all people, but they should include more groups in their emoji library.
