Under their previous moniker EmojiOne, JoyPixels previously supported single skin tone versions of the π€ Handshake emoji (e.g. π€πΎ Handshake: Medium-Dark Skin Tone) in their 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 updates.
These were discontinued from their 3.0 update onwards, but have returned with a brand new design in JoyPixels 7.0.
The remaining new emojis in this update include two new gender-neutral person emoji, π« Person with Crown and π« Pregnant Person, plus a third person emoji in the form of π« Pregnant Man.

π Changed
As has come to be expected in major JoyPixels emoji updates, a large number of existing emojis have had their designs revised.
As mentioned above, the majority of these changes are within the people category: almost all people emojis have had their hair designs changed at least subtly.
Notably, almost all of the people emojis without a skin tone modifier no longer have brown hair by default - instead, they now have a yellowish hair color, akin to how many other emoji vendors depict these emojis' hair. π§ Person is shown as an example below.
Exceptions include the likes of the color-specifying π§βπ¦° Person: Red Hair and π± Person: Blond Hair, and the π§ Older Person, who retains their grey hair but is now also wearing glasses.
Additionally, all the different people gesturing and profession emojis now display more of the individual's torso, often with some additional pose or feature.
π§βπ Student is now giving a π Thumbs Up.
π§βπΎ Farmer is now holding a basket full of π₯ Carrots and π₯ Potatoes instead of a pitchfork.
Many non-color-specific hearts such as π Two Hearts are now bubblegum pink instead of red.
This is also the case for π Heart with Arrow, π Growing Heart, π Sparkling Heart, π Beating Heart, and π Revolving Hearts.
The π Heart Decoration now has a block purple background color, as per most other vendors.
ποΈ Person Lifting Weights now has their eyes closed.
π£ Person Rowing Boat is now within a body of water.
π§ Zombie now has some π§ Brains on display.
π Chart Increasing now shows its upward-trending line in red, as per other vendors. Learn why this line is red.
π Card Index now shows a π§βπΌ Office Worker instead of a π©ββοΈ Woman Health Worker.
βΎοΈ Infinity now has a block purple background, akin to Google's current design.
