I guess GIFs aren’t supported but starting today, when I send an emoji in Google Messages (beta) it continuously spins around and bounces. I’m not sure how I feel about that.

EDIT: Looks like there is a website that details all the animations. https://googlefonts.github.io/noto-emoji-animation/

      The blobs were the ultimate emojis, and you cannot change my mind

        My wife and I fell in love over the blobs. I keep screenshots of them on my phone so I can text her using them to this today. It’s clunky, but they’re exactly the ones I want to use sometimes.

            Oh wow, I did not know that! They don’t seem to be the animated versions that I’m a little more familiar with. That was years ago and I don’t remember exactly how I produced these.

      The period of time where they completely ruined the turtle emoji after killing the blobs was the emoji dark ages. At least they finally fixed it.
