Answer 2

Hi Aymetric,

Thanks for your post. This should be a new feature in Windows 11. Look at the official document:

For this multi-person emoji, our team has added a new feature to the Emoji panel. This feature allows customers to create their own multi-person emoji by freely combining any combination of face type (gender) and skin tone and add them to the emoji list. This feature is currently available in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621 or later.

Previously, available combinations of multi-person emoji were all enumerated in the emoji list. When customers wanted to input these emoji, they had to select the combination from a bloated list. However, with this improvement, UI for selecting combinations has been added, allowing multi-person emoji to be used smoothly from a slimmed-down emoji list.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue
