- Photomoji is now starting to roll out for Google Messages.
- The Messages app will alert you that the feature is available with a circular badge on top of the emoji button.
- The feature has yet to roll out widely to all beta program users.
Last week, Google announced a few new features that would be coming to one of the best messaging apps on Android. Among those features was image clipping functionality, similar to what Apple and Samsung offer. Now that feature is starting to roll out for some users in the Google Messages beta tester program.
First discovered by 9to5Google, the Mountain View firm has started rolling out its Photomoji feature. As the company described in its blog, the function lets you “transform your favorite photos into reactions.” In the images below, you can see an example where the cat in the left picture is turned into a custom emoji in the right image.
