      Gboard is missing a bunch of other emojis and is slow as fuck to add new ones though

      SwiftKey is far better for emojis, Gboard is better for languages, otherwise they’re around the same

        I have all the last emojis in Gboard. Gboard use the set of emoji of your version of Android. Google did a change this year to accelerate the deployment of the emojis on Gboard through the play services.

        SwiftKey use its own set of emojis. I guess.

    It’s the same face. The only thing that changes is the hair length and color of shirt. Just use the one most like you or something.

    Can guys have long hair and wear purple? Can girls have short hair and wear blue?

    I don’t get the gender neutral either (using Gboard on an older Android). Which is a bit odd because as far as I can tell gender neutral is the base character, and the male and female versions are customisations that are applied as if they were accented characters.

    I’d rather have them all as no-gender, no-race, generic little yellow peeps but eh…

      But seriously, I think we should have never went down the rabbit hole of giving the yellow people skin colours, because then we had to give them genders, and then suddenly people are marginalised because they aren’t included.

      I still want ginger emoji variants now 🤣
