Windows 11: soon, your emojis will be prettier, look!

As incredible as it may seem, 3D emojis suddenly land in Windows 11.

Finally, for certain privileged people only. For the moment…

Emojis that play with our emotions

Almost two years after its launch, we have to admit that Windows 11 has evolved considerably. Over the months and updates, the latest version of Microsoft’s OS has been enriched with new, very practical options, including the arrival of tabs in File Explorer, or the addition of a search bar in task manager. Despite this, one all-important feature is still missing: 3D emojis. But where have they gone?

Remember, months before the release of Windows 11, Microsoft promised us more expressive emojis than ever. Instead, we had to settle for 2D emojis, without Microsoft really explaining this turnaround. In doing so, we then thought that the idea of ​​incorporating them into Windows 11 had finally been abandoned, until the latter gave signs of life again in January 2022. Nando Costa, responsible for the design, had indeed confirmed that it will soon be possible to get your hands on these famous emojis. But since then, radio silence…

3D emojis are finally coming to Windows 11

Here’s new proof that wild dreams can sometimes come true: 3D emojis were recently spotted in the Windows 11 Canary channel (build 25905). The information is shared with us by the specialized site Neowin, which also tells us that these emojis will only be supported by certain apps and browsers. Anyway, almost two years after the launch of Windows 11, and a few months before the potential announcement of Windows 12, the Redmond firm has finally kept its promise.

Let’s now hope that these “fluent style” emojis will not be long before they appear in the stable version of Windows 11. This will logically calm the ardor of those who have disputed their absence since the launch of the operating system. in October 2021.
