Gboard is one of the best keyboards for Android. Why do we say it? Well, because Google doesn’t neglect this app and always includes great news in it. However, the big G also knows how to revive the oldest functions of your keyboard. And that’s what Google recently did by bringing Blobmojis back to Gboard .
Don’t you know these emojis or how to activate them? Well then stay, because here you are going to see what Gboard Blobmojis are and how they are used .
The “blobs”, the classic Android emojis
As we mentioned above, this emoji pack was one of the oldest on Android. Blobmojis were used between 2013 and 2017 . Google removed “blobs” in Android Oreo and completely changed the design of Gboard emojis.
Blobmojis had a lot of variety , so they were perfect to accompany the text of messages in chats. That’s why the disappearance of “the blobs” caused such a disappointment in the Android community.
Google revived Blobmojis in 2018, but they came in a sticker pack and not as emojis. This did not convince users, as they wanted the “blobs” to return to Gboard as they were before . The good news is that Google finally listened to these requests and Blobmojis are available again!
