Google is allowing users to mash-up emojis to create new combinations using Gboard's Emoji Kitchen. It lets you take your favourite emojis and mix them into customised stickers to help you convey precisely what you are feeling. As per the official blog, the feature is now available on Gboard for Android.
Emojis have been around for a long time. People use them to convey their feelings. They play with them like words – mashing them together, turning nouns into verbs, breaking them apart to create entirely new concepts. With Emoji Kitchen. your phone’s keyboard becomes an even richer canvas for expression.
"Using Gboard on your Android phone, tap on any smiley emoji and Emoji Kitchen will reveal a number of stickers specially handcrafted by the designers at Google. So when you tap the face with a cowboy hat emoji — YEEHAW now you have monkey cowboy, ghost cowboy, laughing cowboy, kissy cowboy, in love cowboy, pleading cowboy and of course pensive cowboy," the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
The stickers work across all popular apps like Gmail, Messages by Google, Messenger, Snapchat, Telegram, WhatsApp, and more. It must be noted that users cannot just mix any two emojis together. It works only with those supported by Google. As of now, the emoji sticker pack features 40 emoji combinations built by developer Maxence Guegnolle.
