Apple has released iOS 8.3 which features some of their highly anticipated new and diverse emojis.

Each of the human emojis gives the user a selection of skin tones to choose from—a feature that many have requested since emojis hit the scene a few years ago.

To select a different skin tone, just hold down the emoji until additional options pop up on the screen. In addition to the new diverse emojis there are over 300 new "characters" to choose from as well.

In addition to emoji upgrades, the new iOS 8.3 update comes with a few new functional bells and whistles—including a wider spacebar in Safari so.your.searches.don't.look.like.this.anymore.

Head on over to MacRumors for a full description of all the new updates.

The update is available as an over-the-air download now.
