Just updated to Android Oreo...what happened to the Emojis?!?!?

Any non iOS emoji are pretty much garbage

Honestly I could live with them getting rid of blob emojis if they were actually good replacements - I'm confused why they went in the opposite direction of flat/material design. That's half the reason the blobs were legit and the Twitter/Discord emojis are the best.

Google says it wanted to help avoid miscommunication by helping to make sure emoji are as consistent as possible when used across platforms: Those blobs often seemed to mean very different things from their iOS equivalents.

They are indeed very ugly.

Blobs were simple and neutral. Now everything is over designed and they have to offer all the genders and races for every single thing.

The blobs are garbage. They’re trying way too hard to be “different”
The Samsung emoji might be the worst of the three big sets. They’re actually garbage.
