Issue with Hand Gesture Emojis Defaulting to White Hands


Dear Apple Support,


Since the last update, I’ve noticed that the hand gesture emojis have all defaulted to white hands, which is particularly noticeable on WhatsApp. Even when I change them to darker hands, they revert to white when I use them again.


For example, when I use 🙏🏾, it should stay as this and not revert to the white hand version when I respond to a text. This is quite frustrating, and I would like this issue to be fixed so that my chosen skin tone remains consistent.


Thank you for your attention to this matter.


Best regards,

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17

We are not apple support, we are apple users on a user to user forums. Apple is not participating on here.


Is the issue only with whatsapp? If that is the case, you might contact their support as this can be an issue on their side.


If the issue is across all of your iPhone, please send it as feedback to apple via this form, that way they can look into it
