If you ever felt like there were not enough emoji options to express how you feel, a new addition to Google’s Gboard Keyboard, launched today, aims to help. Gboard for Android introduces a feature called “Emoji Kitchen” that allows users to combine different emoji and use them as stickers when sending messages.
Stickers will work on all apps, including Gmail, Google Messages, Messenger, Snapchat, Telegram, WhatsApp, and more
For example, you can add mirrors to various smiling emoji, add a cowboy hat to a hat, have a tear-jerking robot, put a monkey’s face in a cactus (idk or), and make a happy emoji express love and heart again. and so on.
To be clear, you can’t just combine any of the thousands of emoji with any other – it only works on those Google bases, which are very different from smiles. That is because emoji are not integrated in real time using some form of AI system. Instead, Google designers created this set of Gboard workshops, specifically.
To use the option, you start by tapping on any smiling emoji and the Emoji Kitchen will show you which mashups are available to you. Google’s Gboard has long been a test app to test new concepts in self-expression, including introductions like its own set of emoji, called Emoji Minis, and features like doodling, Morse code input, emoji suggestions and -GIF, and others over the years.
The default keyboard for some Android devices, such as Google Pixel smartphones
The app has been well received by Android users, as a result – despite its age, it is still in the top 50 operating system category and has over one billion downloads worldwide so far. And it is now the default keyboard for some Android devices, such as Google Pixel smartphones.
However, Google‘s main goal with Gboard is to make it compelling enough for users to keep it installed, giving the company a way to deliver Google features, such as Search, directly to the end user. That is even more important than ever before when mobile search became more popular than desktop.
Unfortunately for Google, mobile search has become more expensive, as the company now relies on agreements with mobile device manufacturers, such as Apple, to make its search engine default. Gboard offers Google another way to integrate its bet – by exceeding the need to use the browser app to get to Google. Users can simply use their keyboard instead. Google says Emoji Kitchen launches today for Android users.
Gboard is one of the best Android keyboards, and Google keeps adding new features and improvements from time to time to keep things fun. In December, Gboard acquired thousands of new kitchen emoji combinations.
The company is now exploring a clean feature that produces contextual stickers based on your scripts. Gboard shows a sticker preview in the left corner of the suggestion line, with a tap that displays an extra different sticker with different styles. These stickers do not appear in an emoji cookie or in an existing sticker gallery.
Android Police reports that sticker suggestions work with both long or short phrases but do not work with almost any text. The feature is exactly the same as the Gboard Emoji kitchen, which allows you to select two different emojis and combine them into one to create great different stickers.
Text-based stickers produced for other users with the latest Gboard beta update. The feature is not live on my device using Gboard version 11.4.08.422524001-beta, which suggests that this is a limited beta release.
You can increase your chances by joining the Gboard beta program in the Google Play Store. Google recently introduced the Pixel 6 Gboard grammar tool for other Pixel phones. The tool automatically detects your system errors and gives you corrections as you type. It works locally on your device and can be disabled in keyboard settings.
