Facebook updates 'Friends' icon to reflect gender equality



Facebook has shown that it care about every gender. this is due to the recent update in the sites friend icon. Although tiny, but it featured a male silhouette in front of a smaller female one. The new icon now shows the woman in front of the man, and the two silhouettes are the same size. Similarly, the new "Groups" icon now depicts a woman between two men. Before, a man was in the center, between another man and a woman.





Facebook design manager Caitlin Winner revealed the changes in a Medium post. She wrote that she noticed gender discrepancies in the "glyph kit" when saw that the male icon was symmetrical but the woman had a chip in her shoulder. The chip was the spot where the man was placed in front of the woman in the "Friends" icon. "The lady icon needed a shoulder, so I drew it in  — and so began my many month descent into the rabbit hole of icon design," Winner wrote in the post.
