Windows 11 may still get 3D emoji after all, according to a new report. According to The Verge, Microsoft is still considering adding the feature to the operating system, despite being met with criticism from some users who argue that it would make the software more difficult to use. Some people are also concerned that 3D emoji could be used as a way for companies to control how people use the software.
A Window user told Microsoft designer Nando Costa that they wanted the 3D emoji in Windows 11, and he replied, “We’re working on that.” Later, he put out a blog post on LinkedIn discussing Microsoft’s emoji decisions in Windows 11 and its plans going forward.
We have no idea when Microsoft will change from the 2D to 3D emoji, but considering the company switched back to a flat design without any comment, it’s good to see that it hasn’t completely given up on the gorgeous 3D design it teased before the latest version of Windows launched.
Additionally, we don’t know exactly why Microsoft changed from the 3D design back to the 2D version. It could have been an issue with the way fonts are drawn in Windows or other technical problems. If that’s the case, it could be a matter of Microsoft figuring out how to make the more advanced emoji work in the OS without slowing things down. Only time will tell when (and if) the 3D emoji arrive, but there’s hope.
