New iPhone Update Suggests Palestinian Flag Emoji for 'Jerusalem'

A new software update means that iPhone users in Britain who type in "Jerusalem" are now presented with a Palestinian flag emoji.

The change resulted from an Apple feature called predictive emoji, which suggests emojis based on typed words.

According to Apple, the change was unintentional, and simply resulted from the update. The tech giant told BBC News it would rectify the issue in a future update.

At the time of reporting, the emoji suggestion still appears on UK English keyboards, though it doesn't occur when using a US keyboard.
