An emoji showing all fingers and thumb held together in a vertical orientation, sometimes referred to as the Italian hand gesture ma che vuoi [what do you want] has been meme worthy for quite some time and one user said, "  iOS 14.2 really appealing to the Italians."

Alongside iOS 14.2, Apple also released watchOS 7.1, which (like the iPhone update), adds support for HomePod's Intercom feature, along with headphone audio warnings, and support for the ECG app in Korea and Russia.
