Google Is Rolling Out New Emoji Updates In Android 12

While texting, it isn’t easy to convey your tone through just words. This is where emojis come into play. Emojis have become an essential means of sharing your emotions and intentions in messaging. With every new event, new emojis are added to the Unicode Standard, and OS upgrades are released to support these emojis on the system.

In a recent blog post, Google has announced that hundreds of emojis are getting a new touch up and are being improved upon to make them more universal, accessible, and authentic. These will get a release, along with the new ones, when it’s Android 12 mobile operating system arrives this fall.

“Emoji have a global audience and it;s important for them to be globally relevant,” the blog post read.

Google gives pie emoji as an example of its change. Earlier, pie mimicked a slice of pumpkin and was not known much internationally. The updated emoji seems like a whole, uncut pie and could mean apple pie, strawberry pie, blueberry pie, and the list goes on, Google says.

Google also says that soon apps will access these 992 redesigned emojis separately from system updates. Other emojis that have witnessed a change include the mask emoji that looks a little less sick and unhappy.

Let’s be honest here. Some changes are more realistic while others are more. The emojis are not consistent since few almost look like posterized photos, while the others are more or less cartoonish. But since the emojis cover a wide array now, it’s impossible to match a similar style precisely.

Basic food emojis also look a little more appetizing in Android 12. These new emoji aren’t just arriving on Android 12, but Google is rolling them out to other services, including Gmail, Chat, Chrome OS, and YouTube Live Chat in this month itself.

Updating emojis is an improvement that many people will find silly, but it has become a large part of our vernacular.

Android 12 vs iOS 15: Privacy Features

Apple’s constant push for better privacy and security features for the iPhone has always forced Google to catch up with them. In the latest Google I/O event, the company announced details of its Android 12 operating system along with matchable privacy features, but within a few weeks, Apple came back to haunt them with their iOS 15, and the tech-war began again.

Apple introduced iOS 15, its newest operating system for iPhones, where the Cupertino, California, headquartered company makes sure their users will stay more focused & productive with their devices. In contrast, Google prioritises privacy features with the launch of Android 12 OS, but which operating system has better privacy features?

Android 12 is Google’s most ambitious privacy release to date. Yet, the features Google is bringing to Android devices now are already on iOS devices, lets take a look at them:

Android 12 will notify users when apps use information from their clipboards, like when you copy a text or password from one place and paste it into something else, it will tell you that your clipboard is being accessed.

Android lacks a little behind in some of the privacy features, but we’ve to keep in mind that Android is a much more popular mobile operating system worldwide than iOS, as it powers the majority of the world’s smartphones, including some very cheap models.

Android 12 users can see a list of which apps have used things like their location data, camera, and microphone, while Apple’s iOS does this to a certain extent and allows users to see which apps have used their locations services within the last 24 hours.

The iOS 15 update is coming to all iPhone 6S models and newer, including the iPhone 7 series, iPhone 8 series, iPhone X, iPhone XS series, iPhone XR, iPhone 11 series, iPhone 12 series, iPhone SE (1st and 2nd Gen), and iPod Touch 7th Gen while Android 12, will come first to Pixel 3 series, Pixel 3a series, Pixel 4 series, Pixel 4a series, and Pixel 5, followed by partner devices from OnePlus, Xiaomi, Asus, Oppo, Realme and more.
