Google has updated its hamburger emoji after CEO Sundar Pichai last month said he would drop everything to address the previous design.

The new burger design sees the cheese moved from its previous location at the bottom of the 🍔 Hamburger emoji to place the cheese on top of the burger patty. This change applies to the forthcoming Android 8.1 release.

Other emojis to change in Android 8.1 include 🍺 Beer, 🍻 Beers and 🧀 Cheese.

🍺 Beer and 🍻 Beers no longer have froth appearing at the top of a half-poured stein of beer.

🧀 Cheese fixes a bug where holes on the edge of the wedge appeared to be painted on, showing a line running through them.

As this is a beta update, no changes are final, and these could change prior to the public release.

How the new burger emoji affects the serving of the burger at Google offices is not clear. For Googlers' sake I hope the cheese is returned to the top of the patty where it belongs!

Response

Public feedback on the previous burger design was widely panned, as people do care about their food as much as their emojis, it seems.

Responses to this latest update have been positive on Twitter, with the previous "cheese-under" design having few fans.

@Emojipedia It looks like Google fixed the beer and burger emojis in the latest 8.1 developer preview. The nightmare is over. pic.twitter.com/4tiRHLpJOm — Bryce Anderson (@fluffh3ad) November 28, 2017

Now Tim, how about that "lettuce under" design?

Release

Android 8.1 is in developer preview now, with a full release expect in late 2017. These emoji changes appeared in developer preview 2 which was released this week.

Developers can download this release from Google, and a rollout will commence to the public when the final version of Android 8.1 is complete.

Update: Google Android 8.1 was released on December 5, 2017 with this burger emoji fix.
