The Gone Emoji

In fact it never occurred to me the big change ahead with the emoji in android O. There are a lot changes under the hood but visually not much with the latest version of the most popular OS on earth. I can't say much is because, hey, there is little chance for me to have android O now that I am on LG V20 instead of a nexus of a pixel.

But, after reading the verge coverage (https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/25/15688528/google-blob-emoji-android-o-rip), with all the comparison of emoji from different versions, I find myself missing the days of android 4.4.

It's just my personal opinion but emoji back to version 4.4 is really the best of all. With everyone else doing a round face, what android had back then is a "blob". Not any blobs but blobs with a neck (sort of). Blobs can look up and down and sideways because of the neck they have. To me that's way more expressive than what we will have.

I guess it has something to do with time as well. Back then, most apps with built in emojis were doing apple line of them. Sending a blob most always meant I am the only person who can see what it really was. It is strange. But people are strange anyways. And, I guess people just don't like changes.
