May 18 (UPI) -- Google announced Thursday it will replace its oft-criticized "blob emojis" with traditional round faces used on other mobile devices and email platforms.
Unlike the ubiquitous round emojis displayed on Apple and Android operating systems, Google's version looked like a cross between melted lemon drops and the yellow ghost in Pac Man. The blobs, as they came to be called, are seen on all Google platforms, including Gmail, Google+ and during Google Hangouts.
