The original sticker packs are customizable based on a selfie of yourself. There were to options from which to choose, “Bold” or “Sweet”. However, with the arrival of the new mini stickers, you can now design stickers, still based off of your selfie, with the option to customize it in the style of Android’s stock emojis.
After you take a selfie, emoji Minis use Google’s machine learning algorithms, known as neural networks, to suggest a skin tone, hair style and accessories that you can fine tune. Then, you choose a color for your hair, facial hair or different types of head coverings and eyewear. Add freckles or wrinkles—a little or a lot—if you’d like. Design your Minis so they resemble what you look like in your eyes—or in your mind.
