I hoped they wouldn't follow through with the new emoji style. Going to miss the blobs a lot.

  why? those expressions were completely incompatible with what other phone users were seeing or sending

    I've only ever seen them inside Google hangouts, but I will say that I thought they were kind of cute. I don't know where they could keep them since I agree it would be a good idea to have something very similar to other oasis.

    You are correct in some cases but not in a majority.

    No they weren't.

    Some of them did not match perfectly with their counterparts in other Emoji sets. I wouldn't call that "completely incompatible" though, and it doesn't imply that one or the other is wrong. If the purpose of this was to bring them in line with other emoji sets, they could have just redone the few that show somewhat different expressions.

    Agreed, miscommunication was a serious problem with them. See https://www.fastcodesign.com/90125701/googles-18-month-quest-to-redesign-its-terrible-emoji https://www.fastcodesign.com/90125701/googles-18-month-quest...
