Animated emojis
Google has also introduced animated emojis to Android via phone operator KDDI. Users will be able to download these ‘dancing emotes’ in their preferred file format. Google says that some of these animated emojis are already available in the Google Messages.
New Colour font for emojis
The company has also added new colour font support for emojis. “Thanks to a new font format called COLRv1, color fonts — such as Noto Color emoji — can render with the crispness we’ve come to expect from digital imagery," Google says in a blog post.
Noto Emoji is an open-source emoji font which is used online. It is also used by Chrome and other Google products. Originally, the font only supported emoji in black-and-white. But it now supports full-color versions as well.
Customized emotes
Google is also bringing the ability to change the color of emoji using emoji kitchen. “Whether you're a developer, designer, or just a citizen of the Internet, Noto Emoji has something for everyone and we love seeing what you make with it," the company wrote in a blog post.
