Please Make Your Emojis More Inclusive

It would be a good idea if the QVC boards had updated emojis.

 

All of the face emojis are white, which is obviously not representative of the diverse group of your buyers OR those participating on the boards.

 

It's really time for a choice of more inclusive skin color, much like those provided by an iPad.

Re: Please Make Your Emojis More Inclusive

I agree with you @Noel7.  People have complained about the emjois since the board was changed.  I'm pretty sure the moderators said that they can't be changed.  They came with the program for the board and there isn't a way to change them.  

 

I hope if I'm wrong someone will tell me.  I would like to be wrong.

Thanks @NickNack !

 

My response is that obviously Apple found a way.  Get new software, perhaps.  It's not an insurmountable problem and it is important in this day and age.

Removing them would solve the problem.

Twitter not only has numerous choices, but offers a range of skin colors one can apply to emojis showing human faces or human skin.

I would be happy if I could just discern what they are supposed to indicate.  The graphics are pathetic.
