Hello, communicators:
Apple made a change to its face mask emoji, giving the image a more upbeat look.
As spotted by Emojipedia, Apple has updated its face mask wearing emoji, known as “Face with Medical Mask,” with the release of its iOS 14.2 beta 2 this week. Instead of being a plain yellow with sad eyes that looks sick, the face mask wearing emoji in the new beta appears to be… happy. In fact, one could say that it’s sporting a familiar smile.
The move, even though minor, can highlight the importance of catering messages, images, videos and other content to your audiences’ psyches—especially if you hope to encourage them to act.
