OK, Wait — This Hack From TikTok Shows You How to Change the Color of the Emoji on an iPhone. By Lauren Harano. Published on July 21, 2021 at 10:40 AM.

HuffPo suggests thinking of yellow emoji like LEGO people; I also think looking at them in the same way we do characters on The Simpsons might be helpful, too.. But as for why the default color ...

In particular the gender and hair color changes are significant, which will allow any generic emoji to be customized. You could, for example, change the dancer emoji to a male with red hair.

In much the same way, the proposal will allow you to choose the colour of the emoji's hair — with options including ginger, sandy, brunette, very dark brown, silver, and bald.

And the Tears of Joy emoji was the winner. The ToJ’s rise has been a quick one: in 2014, it made up just 4 percent of all emoji used in the UK, and this year that number rose to 20 percent.

Give your Focus a name and a color (which won’t affect the emoji in the corner), and it’s time to choose the emoji. Unfortunately, you don’t have the option to run with any emoji you’d like.
