- Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.4580 references new emoji settings Microsoft could activate in a future release.
- When enabled, PC users will be able to optionally add an emoji panel button to the Windows taskbar.
- You’ll also be able to adjust whether the shortcut always appears or only when typing in a text field.
iOS and Android phones have long offered accessible emoji buttons, as many users actively use them on social media and messaging platforms. These characters, however, sometimes also come in handy when getting productive work done on desktops. To help Windows 11 users locate the emoji panel, Microsoft is working on a dedicated shortcut that lives in the PC’s taskbar.
