We all love emoji, especially when we get new options to toy with. The full release of Android 11 is bringing with it 117 new emoji, and we’ve gone hands-on for a “proper” closer look.
You may be running the Android 11 Beta and the Gboard 9.6 beta, which is letting some people already get a glimpse of the latest emoji way ahead of time. Alternatively, you might not have had a good look at what is heading out.
If you don’t have the Gboard beta or are not running the Android 11 Beta updates, you can always view the new emoji by copying from Emojipedia and pasting them into a text field. The latest Gboard beta surfaces the 62 new characters, as well as 55 skin tone and gender variants, in the emoji tab.
The entire new collection is designed to play better with dark themes and dark modes that have exploded in popularity over the past 18 months. While we don’t get the classic blob emoji in Android 11, the minor tweaks add plenty of extra character and that Google pizazz that we all know and love.
