The update will roll out in the coming weeks and will be available for devices running Android 6 and above.
◆ A function to easily decorate messages with pictograms has appeared
In recent years, the use of pictograms in messages has become commonplace, and it is sometimes said that emojis are easier to convey emotions than letters. It was announced that a new 'button to decorate messages with pictograms with one tap' will be added to the keyboard application
Usually, if you want to add emojis to your messages, you add emojis manually.
However, when you press the newly added 'Emojify' button, it will automatically decorate the message with pictograms.
By tapping repeatedly, the decoration layout will change, so you can confirm that the layout is the one you like and send it. This feature is only compatible with English Gboard at the time of writing, and will be rolled out to English Gboard users in the coming weeks.
