Over the past few years, the definition of texting has evolved. The introduction of emojis in the interface was a treat to texters but the blobs style emojis found on Android operating system are just BLEH!
And thank god! Google has realised it.

The new emojis are currently available on the beta version of Android O and will be available officially on the OS later this year.
