When we added
emoticons in Gmail, you responded with a nice big smile
, but then you asked for more. So we added
hundreds more emoticons through Gmail Labs. “But alas!” you cried. “How can I ever keep up with so many different choices?
I am overwhelmed by the sheer immensity of emotion
, amusement
, and cute animals
that Gmail has to offer." Well, don’t despair, fine purveyor of emoticons. There is now a solution: “Recently Used Emoji” in Gmail Labs, which keeps track of the ten most recent emoticons you’ve used, and saves them for easy access. To turn it on, just visit the
Labs tab of Gmail Settings.
No more searching through dozens of cat faces for the one that says, “I miss you, but I’m still ambivalent about our weekend plans.” You can now triumph over the plethora of emoticons, and easily add a pile of emotion to any email that you choose —
let us know how it goes.
