Windows 10 Emoji Picker gets an update (Build 20206)

Microsoft has been evolving and improving the Emoji Picker over the years. Emoji picker added more emoji, added support for many other languages, kaomoji and symbols.

 


Now with the release of Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20206, emoji picker has been revamped with more new additions. 

  • Updated Design: Emoji picker gets a new acrylic background thus making it more aligned with the Fluent Design principles.
  • Emoji Search: Search has been improved by adding an inline search box in supported languages.
  • Animated GIF support: Now one can quickly add animated GIFs too.And the emoji search also supports these animated GIFs. Selection of animated GIFs will be continuously updated based on current trends and hashtags.
    NOTE: In order to insert an animated GIF when typing, the text field needs to support it. Animated GIF search requires an internet connection
  • Input and clipboard history brought together: Input and clipboard history are brought together into a single experience.One can still press WIN + V to go straight to clipboard history, but now you can also access it by switching to the “Clipboard” category after pressing WIN + [.] or WIN + [;].

 This feature is rolling out to a subset of Insiders in the Dev Channel at first and will be gradually rolled out to everyone in the Dev Channel.
