Love is in the air because 200 out of 217 of the new emojis are changes to the 'couple with heart' and 'couple with kiss' emojis. At the moment there is only the yellow skin tone available. There will now be a wider choice of skin tones, which means couples can choose emojis that represent their skin tone better.
