Emoji

Samsung is now updating emojis as a separate software package, a process that makes it easier to add and change the icons without the need for a larger system software update

The Unicode Consortium has, for the first time, released a list of the most popular emoji. Unsurprisingly, it was full of hearts, smiles and laughter.

This has caused quite a storm — and some would say rightfully so.

Samsung's emoji have always been – unique. Thankfully, the Android Oreo / Samsung Experience 9.0 update makes them look much more similar to universal standards.

The newly launched Galaxy smartphones are shipping with Nougat, making them the first Samsung smartphones to include the new Emoji 4.0 right out of the box.

In an effort to make emoji even more inclusive, Google is about to roll out 53 new gender fluid emojis.

Emoji can be awesome, adorable, and… they can be a big, fat pain in the 🍑. There are a lot of custom emoji keyboards on Android, like Disney Emoji Blitz, and I’m sorry to say they’re all 💩.

Google's blob-style emojis were ripped from our hands with Android Oreo, but thanks to new sticker packs for Android Messages and Gboard, you can start using them once again.

Ever wanted to create your very own emoji that looks just like you? Emoji Minis stickers on Gboard now allow you to do just that!
