Google Chat Custom Emojis

You can now create custom emojis to make them even more expressive and personalized.

You can create custom emojis in the web versions of Chat or Gmail by navigating to the “Create” button within the emoji picker.

There, you can upload an image of your choice and give it a descriptive name, and then use your custom emoji while sending or reacting to messages in Chat.

Note: Custom emojis you create can be viewed and used by everyone within the same domain.

Google Chat Spaces Conversation Summaries

To help you stay on top of messages in Google Chat Spaces, Google has introduced conversation summaries, which provide a helpful digest of conversations in a space, allowing you to quickly catch-up on unread messages and navigate to the most relevant threads.

Conversation summaries is enabled for your account by defaults and you will start seeing summaries in spaces that have many unread messages.
