Racially diverse emojis were not the only new ones added; there are now same-sex relationship family emojis. Previously, there were only same-sex couple emojis on the iPhone and different-sex families.
More than 32 flags from different countries have also been added to the new emoji options, bringing the total flags available up to 42.
Other emojis added during the update include more gadgets, such as the Apple Watch.
