? Pizza slice's crust has been given an added dimension and has had its black olives removed. The scissors that appear in ?♀️ Woman Getting Haircut have been given a new shape. In the meantime, while it is no longer possible to make a proposal to Unicode for a new emoji to be released in 2021, proposals for new emojis for 2022 are now being accepted. Image: Google designs / Emojipedia composite.ĭespite this beta featuring no new emojis, it is entirely possible that a later Android 12 beta will contain new emojis once Unicode's 2021 list has been finalised later in the year. Ībove: emojis from Emoji 13.1 which were released previously by Google in late 2020. Initially released as via a feature drop exclusive to Google Pixel devices, new emojis such as ?? Face Exhaling and ❤️? Heart on Fire are available to users running Android 11 on eligible devices. However, at the tail end of 2020 Google began rolling out support for Unicode's Emoji 13.1 recommendations. This is not surprising, as Unicode's 2021 emoji recommendations are still currently being drafted. Today's beta release does not feature any brand new emojis alongside these design changes. It's therefore quite likely that the ? Face with Medical Mask has been reverted back to its Android 10 design in error, and indeed may either be returned to it's Android 11 appearance or given an entirely new design come future Android 12 beta releases. Perhaps the most notable of these beta changes is the reversion of the ? Face with Medical Mask back to its earlier Android 10 design.Īs with all beta software, the designs released by Google today are subject to change prior to the final release. Included within the beta are changes to hundreds of existing emoji designs, with a particular focus on food, drinks, objects, and nature.Ībove: a comparison of several emoji designs as they appear between Android 11 and the first public Android 12 beta.
