Certain platforms did, however, support a small number of single skin tone options for the handshake emoji prior to 2021 (e.g. both <a href="/google/android-7.1/new/">Google</a>&nbsp;and <a href="/samsung/touchwiz-7.1/new/">Samsung</a> in 2017).&nbsp;<a href="/handshakes/">View all handshake emojis</a>.
