Android O Adopts New Emoji Design

May 17, 2017, 7:05 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Android O replaces the squishy emoji blobs that have long been a part of Google's stock operating system with more traditional, circular emoji. Many of Google's handset partners include their own emoji on Android phones, but the clean version of Android that runs on Pixel and Nexus devices includes the blob-style emoji. Android O puts the basic design and shape of the emoji in line with what other companies offer. The redesigned emoji are included in the new Android O beta release that Google made available earlier today.

No More Blobs!

Glad to see this change. It makes sense with Pixel's design and I never liked the blobs.
