Google first introduced the original Androidify tool back in 2011, complete with its own Android app. However, the company decided to discontinue this experience in 2020. Fast forward to 2022, Google unveiled an updated 3D robot mascot for Android. Users can now once again design their own Android Bot using a new tool that bears resemblance to the old Androidify tool.
This new tool allows users to easily create a personalised 3D Android mascot in just a few simple steps. The company launched this feature in preparation for the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. Notably, Google had previously crafted custom bots for Sundar Pichai and Dave Burke internally. With this step-by-step guide, users can now fashion their own unique Android Bot to represent themselves across various devices and social media platforms.
