Google Docs will now allow users to respond to emojis text instead of text comments, Google Workspace announced in a post. The tech giant said that the feature will have all the emoji available in the latest Emoji 14.0. The latest version includes gender neutral options. Google has shared a GIF that shows what the feature will look like. It will appear as a third option with “add comment” and “suggest changes” as soon as the text is highlighted. You can also browse the emoji directory. Google said this was “a less formal alternative to comments.” The feature will be available to users by default after April 20th. The emoji will be available for “Google Workspace Essentials, Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard and Enterprise Plus” subscribers. The Emoji reaction is not new. Many social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram stories allow users to use emoji in response. However, in a formal setting, this is probably the first time. The company has undergone a major overhaul with multiple updates circulating daily.
