New Google Tool Lets You Turn Selfies Into Emoji

Emoji have become an integral part of the way we communicate in the digital space, and libraries of figures and expressions are ever-growing. But wouldn't it be great if you could translate your own features rather than settling for a rough approximation? Google's newest Allo feature is here to do just that by turning user selfies into emoji. Machine learning technology -- which is beginning to more closely mimic human learning -- is behind the new feature on Google chat app Allo that translates selfies into wild illustrations. In its Thursday exclusive, Fast Company reported the feature is now accessible when users pull up the stickers function to respond to a message.
