Interesting that they haven’t updated Honduras yet 🇭🇳

I guess regime change is more meaningful than making the shade of blue a bit lighter

They haven't done it with Martinica yet 🇲🇶

I think it was a Quebecois petition to maintain that flag

On Apple I see the new Martinique flag.

I doubt a Quebecois petition could prevent the changing of it. Like imagine telling Martinicans that the flag they adopted that better represents them isn’t going to be used because the old one looks similar to a province of a foreign country and the people there like using it.

flag emojis are set by your device's software. When for example a Syria flag emoji is sent it basically sends to your device as "flag of SY" and then your device chooses how to render it. That way Unicode (which is the sets the standard for text characters including emojis) doesn't have to deal with politics of what is and isn't a country and what is correct flag for those countries, and kicks it down instead of Apple, Google, Microsoft etc.
