Ginger-haired people around the world can now be put at ease after Apple announced today that the redhead emojis are finally available.

From today, the redhead emoji is available on iPhone but only as part of the iOS public beta.

To get the redhead emoji you first need to download the iOS Public Beta, but back up your phone first or run the risk that the software update could delete your data.

You can do this while on Wi-Fi through the iCloud. Go to settings, select your device, then press iCloud Backup and finally, "Back Up Now".

According to Buzzfeed, you can also back up your phone through iTunes if you have run out of storage.

After backing up your phone, you'll need to head to Apple's Beta software program and click on "Get Started" to enrol your device.

Then go to beta.apple.com/profile on your iOS device and tap "Download profile", and update your iOS device to install any beta software.

Once the redhead emojis are available to everyone, you can then unenroll from the beta program.

In addition to the redhead emojis, bald and curly haired folks will also now be represented.

Grey-haired people, superheroes, party hat smiley, mango, kangaroo, lettuce, lobster, peacock and the Infinity symbol will also be available among other new emojis.
