Google to launch emoticon reaction feature in documents, later this year

Mashable India reported that as part of its Google I/O 2021 event, Google revealed a suite of new productivity features, including the ability to put little emojis underneath a word or series of words in Docs.

Google, which is hopping on to the much-anticipated bandwagon, said the feature is coming later this year but didn't give a more specific timeline for it. Other productivity improvements include the ability to display what a user is working on in Docs in a Google Meet video call directly from the document itself, and live translations are also coming to Meet calls later this year, as per Mashable India.
