3D emojis could still be en route for Windows 11 – Times of India

Microsoft could still be working on true 3D emojis for Windows 11, as per a report by The Verge, based on a blog post by Nando Costa, a designer at Microsoft. The software giant has been making only 2D emojis available for Windows 11 even after teasing that it would bring 3D emojis to the OS. While there has been no official announcement by the tech giant as regards to the 3D emojis, Costa has given a detailed explanation on how the company is going about creating and incorporating the different types of emojis. As per the blogpost, the company is still working on getting the 3D emojis onboard for Windows 11.
“While the Fluent emojis are out for our customers to enjoy in Windows 11, and soon in Microsoft Teams, our job isn’t quite done. As expected, we plan to continue creating new designs every year based on new Unicode releases and will also explore investments in our own exclusive concepts.”, said the blogpost.
Back in 2021, the company had announced plans to bring about 1,800 emojis to Microsoft 365. These would be the updated, 3D versions of the 2D emojis, built in accordance with the Fluent Design language design. The 3D emojis will have bright colours with more saturation. Microsoft also planned to update the Teams app with close to 900 of the new, 3D emojis to add more colour to the text-based conversation.
