OS X 10.10.3 beta 2 build 14D87h released with Photos improvements, diverse emoji

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop, Software,

Apple has released the second developer preview of OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, and with it comes a more diverse group of emoji, featuring multiple skin tones. Rather than offering one hue, as has been standard practice for years, Apple will now offer a total of six different skin tones to choose from. You'll also find same sex couples, and families with and without children, all with skin tone modifier options. Other new emoji characters include new country flags being added to the mix.

Also found in the latest OS X developer preview is an update to the Mac version of the beta Photos app.

If you're a dev, you can download OS X 10.10.3 build 14D87h now from the Mac Dev Center, or by using the Software Update feature in the Mac App Store if you're already running beta software.
