Create ‘Mini’ sticker versions of you on Google’s Gboard

With Google slowly phasing out its Allo chat app, some of its features have been making its way to its other products. One of these is the newly launched “Mini” stickers coming to Gboard. These first debuted on Allo as “selfie stickers” but now you can create “Mini” versions of yourself on iOS and Android via Google’s keyboard app. Gboard will let you take a selfie and combines machine learning, neural networks, and artist illustrations to create the best possible Mini version of you that you can use as stickers. These Minis take into account things like your skin tone, hair color and style, eye color, facial hair, and face shape.

Once you take a selfie, it’ll then generate an avatar and pack of 100 stickers that you can use. The designs even come in Bold and Sweet modes so you have a sticker to use when you don’t want to use words to express how you feel. The gif above shows how you can create your own Mini sticker. It hasn’t rolled out to our device yet but we’re expecting it to come soon.
