Apple removes ‘blood drops’ from syringe emoji amid COVID vaccine rollout – 7NEWS.com.au
Apple has also introduced several new emoji options, including the ability for both women and men to have beards.
Apple has unveiled a small change to its syringe emoji that removes the drops of blood.
The redesigned syringe is part of Apples iOS 14.5 beta, which also has a number of new emoji options, including a heart on fire, a face with swirly eyes and the ability for both women and men to have beards.
Eliminating the blood from the syringe emoji makes it more appropriate to represent COVID-19 vaccination, said Jeremy Burge, the chief emoji officer of Emojipedia, an online emoji dictionary.
