Gboard beta brings subtle functional and design changes to the emoji picker
The new design is currently limited to Pixel devices on the beta channel.
- Gboard’s emoji, GIF, sticker, and emoticon picker could soon get a minor design update.
- The new emoji picker removes the “All” page, which lists recent emojis, Emoji Kitchen creations, and GIFs.
- It also adds larger emoji, GIF, sticker, and emoticon buttons to the bottom bar and removes the background from the toolbar UI at the top.
After rolling out a redesigned Emoji Kitchen UI in Gboard last month, Google is now prepping an update for the keyboard app’s emoji, GIF, sticker, and emoticon picker. The refreshed design is available in the latest Gboard beta and could roll out on the stable channel with a subsequent release.
9to5Google reports that the fresh emoji picker design is available in version 15.3.06.x beta of the Gboard app on Pixel phones and tablets. Unlike the current design, the new emoji picker does not feature an “All” page listing recently used emojis, Emoji Kitchen creations, and GIFs. Instead, the bottom bar has the “ABC” option in a pill-shaped button and emoji, GIF, sticker, and emoticon options within larger, rounded rectangular buttons.
