Before launching to end users, administratives can set organisational guidelines and designate emoji managers, users who can browse and delete custom emojis.

Users can create custom emojis on the web versions of Chat or Gmail if the feature is enabled for their organisational unit.

The feature is available to all Google Workspace users, as well as legacy G Suite Basic and Business customers, the company said.

This feature was available across iOS devices and Android devices.
