Microsoft abandons 3D Emoji plan on Windows 11

Recently, Microsoft posted information about this issue on the Insider Blog. The good news is that there will be more new emoji packs first introduced by Microsoft on Windows 11. However, unfortunately it seems that the Redmond company has abandoned its plan to support 3D emoji ( 3D Emoji), on Windows 10. The newly added emoticons will all be 'classic' flat (2D) instead.

In fact, the purpose of emoticons is to let us express our emotions, as well as make the conversation more vivid and interesting. Therefore, a regular flat emoji or a 3D effect will both serve the same purpose. However, Microsoft's decision to abandon the 3D Emoji plan on Windows 11 still leaves many disappointments, because 3D emoticons are a trend on many interactive platforms today.

When asked about the 3D emoji project for Windows 11, Brandon LeBlanc, Windows Insider Program Manager, posted on Twitter: 'For Windows 11 we will only support emoji packs 2D'. At the same time, Microsoft confirmed that Microsoft absolutely did not deceive users about the 3D Emoji plan. 'Everything is still open and will be added soon in the future'.

As for the problem with the 3D Emoji scheme on Windows 11, it's hard to say exactly. It can't be ruled out that Microsoft realizes that making every emoji look 3D will take more time and effort than it actually provides, especially with many apps that need to display emojis. emotional image.

Anyway, the 2D emoji packs in Windows 11 are much more perfect than the existing emoji in Windows. So it can be said that Microsoft is still on the right track.
