Facebook is all set to add a new set of emojis to its messenger app. Last Wednesday, it was revealed that Facebook Messenger will soon add 1,500 emojis including more than 100 different skin tones to highlight the ethnicity, gender and culture diversity across the globe.

The newly added emojis will allow the users to choose from six different skin tones, reported ABC News. Users can either pick the skin tones or set them up for regular use depending on their needs.

Facebook's new option will also include better representation of the gender, including gender agonistic choices and a more balanced representation of women in the workforce.

"Now, using Messenger emojis, you'll see a female police officer, runner, pedestrian, surfer and swimmer for the very first time, and we'll keep rolling these out," Facebook's Messenger team said in a statement.

The new emoji, which will be rolling out starting Thursday, June 2, will be consistent for the users irrespective of the platform used. Previously some emojis were inconsistent or different based on the platforms, "which means sometimes the emoji you wanted to send wasn't the one that showed up," mentioned Facebook's messenger team.

Nearly 10% of mobile sends in Messenger include emojis," said the developers.

"However, not all platforms have kept up with emoji standards as they've evolved - which means sometimes the emoji you wanted to send wasn't the one that showed up, " mentioned a blog post. "Nor are they living up to the gender and skin tone diversity that we see in our world every day."

However, the issue will be sorted out with the new rollout of the emojis.

"In other words, no more broken-looking black boxes or emojis that just don't make sense "mentioned the post.

"Our characters are consistent every time you use them, no matter what platform the recipient is on."

The new designs, which have been approved by the Unicode consortium, include healthcare workers, scientists and businesswomen.
