Android 12 will include all of these emoji when it rolls out this fall . And to make it easier for everyone to see emoji no matter how old your phone is or when your favorite messaging app updates, starting with Android 12, all apps that support Appcompat will automagically get the latest and greatest emoji . Now developers don’t have to write code to display cute baby seals .

I really don't get Google. What do they even mean here.
