What part of this is AI? What part of that couldn’t have been done without it? Do they just mean they vibecoded it?
This article seems fairly uninformative since, as others have pointed out, there's no visualization or comparison of the full emoji set and no link to see it. They just show a few example images and have some (AI-enhanced?) prose that doesn't actually say very much. This article https://9to5google.com/2026/05/12/android-17-emoji-redesign/ has a larger (2d image) comparison grid with several dozen examples and an A/B…
The best emoji for the way we communicate today would be to revert the water pistol back to a real gun.
For what is worth, the fluent emojis from Microsoft, also named Segoe UI Emoji, have a 2D and 3D versions. They are beautiful! Although I'm not sure if the 3D ones are just complex vector images made to simulate depth with clever gradients and shadows, or were actually 3D rendered. I even saw some animations of them somewhere. Super cute
> Emoji with the darkest skin tones can be difficult to see in dark mode — a problem for anyone who sends or receives them. That’s why we built an AI-powered contrast tool that analyzes each emoji at the pixel level, flags when the contrast ratio is too low and suggests high-contrast solutions that are implemented by designers What part of this is AI?

> You can't really do this. "We've agreed with Apple to use their emoji glyphs on Android by default regardless of font, unless overriden by the user. We understand users might prefer the current designs, and we are proud of the work our team has done, but we believe that consistent communication is more important, and individual users can always enable the override to get the old look back." > Everyone could choose…
> > Everyone could choose to use the same emoji font across platforms or apps, but they don't. > Yeah, that's the problem. We can't rely on every user going out of the way to drive adoption, it has to be done centrally. Well by "everyone" I meant platform companies, app makers, and website designers. There's literally no way you'll get them to agree on a font choice. > "We've agreed with Apple to use their emoji glyp…

Why did the cat get an evil smirk? It seems like adding rain to the umbrella potentially breaks the existing meaning? What’s the emoji that went from three colored circles on a stick to three completely ambiguous widgets?

When will people learn that old/new comparisons should go left to right for people that read left to right?
OMG leave the emojis alone! It's the classic example of a product that reached it's final form. Stop "innovating" the damn emojis
We have Times New Roman! Stop designing new fonts!
