Photomoji was introduced along with six other new features to celebrate Messages' 1 billion RCS users.
"We are grateful to our partners and our users that have advocated for RCS over the years — it’s been a lot of work to get here, and we want to thank you. Beyond Google Messages, there are other messaging clients that use RCS and we are pleased that Apple also took their first step two weeks ago in announcing that they’re embracing RCS," the company said in a statement.
What Is Photomoji?
Photomoji is a feature where users can share custom emoji reactions with their friends and family using images. It creates your own emoji which can be shared with all your loved ones.
By using your facial expressions, personal photos or objects that resonate with your feelings, photomoji allows you to convey your message in your own way or just by sharing facial expressions.
Photomoji is currently available in RCS chats, offering users the ability to create and keep up to 30 Photomoji at once. Users can easily manage their Photomoji in the dedicated "Photomoji" section within the Google Messages app. However, the feature is still rolling out to all users, and those eager to try it out can update their Google Messages app or join the beta program for early access.
