Apple is currently under fire for its updated predictive emoji feature. The controversy arose when iPhone users noticed that typing "Jerusalem" automatically suggested the Palestinian flag emoji. This has sparked an online debate due to the ongoing territorial dispute between Israel and Palestine over Jerusalem. Jewish TV presenter Rachel Riley highlighted the issue on social media, noting that other capital cities did not prompt suggestions for national flags, indicating a potential bias.
