Facebook today said it has taken steps to ensure all users of its Messenger application enjoy a rich experience. Moving forward, emoji will appear exactly the same across platforms, including the web, Android, iOS, and Windows. Moreover, the company has added a diverse mix of emoji to the app, including more variety in skin and hair colors, gender neutral options, more women in professional roles, and so on. Facebook says once users select a skin color all emoji will default to that skin color moving forward, though users will be able to change it at any time. The new emoji will be available in the expanded emoji keyboard. Facebook said updated versions of Messenger will roll out to users worldwide over the days ahead.
