Apple’s latest software update, iOS 18.2.1, brings a subtle yet meaningful addition to its emoji library—new emojis representing women wearing hijab. This update continues Apple’s efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in digital communication.
A Step Towards Greater Representation
While previous iOS versions included a generic headscarf emoji, the addition of specific hijab emojis offers a more nuanced and accurate representation of Muslim women. The move has been met with appreciation from users who value seeing themselves reflected in everyday digital interactions.
Where to Find the New Emojis
The new hijabi emojis are available to all users who update to iOS 18.2.1. They can be accessed through the standard emoji keyboard and used across apps that support emojis.
Though a small change, the inclusion of these emojis underscores the growing importance of representation in digital spaces. By expanding its emoji library to reflect a wider range of identities, Apple continues to acknowledge and celebrate the diversity of its global user base.
