Killing blob emojis was the dumbest shit google ever did
I miss my blobby boys. They had SOUL.
They were somebody. Who is the new emoji guy? Some generic ass circle nobody.
They're still being updated by people on GitHub https://github.com/C1710/blobmoji You can use them if your phone is rooted https://github.com/DavidBerdik/blobmoji There's probably also a way to use it on Samsung without root since they support custom fonts
Sweet, thanks!
tbh i didn't really like them but the new ones are somehow even worse and completely devoid of any personality
They never killed them, they were always stickers not emojis so they aren't used as much. You can still use them through Gboard.
Sorry, but that just isn't true at all. They used blobs for emojis in Android for several years.

That's wrong. You seem to be very young to not remember them as emojis
