2,000 new emoji mashups possible in Gboard

The keyboard Gboard has a great option which is the Emoji Kitchen. Here you can have two emoji merge into 1 sticker of both emotions. Sometimes strange emotions come out, but it’s a nice way to show your emotions a little better. Google thinks so too, because it enables 2,000 new emoji mashups.

Gboard Emoji Kitchen

Gboard is Google’s smart keyboard, which is available as a separate app, but sometimes comes pre-installed on Android devices. Among other things, the app can help you with spell checking, is highly customizable to how you want the keyboard to look, and is bursting with emojis and options to create Bitmoji stickers. But you can also choose not to use an emoji, but a sticker with a mashup of two emoji.

If you have no idea what an emoji mashup is, go to the emoji in the Gboard and then choose two in a row. You will probably see a laboratory icon and then a sticker will follow in which the two emoji are merged. That’s the Emoji Kitchen feature:

Emoji Mashup

Initially, this function worked with a few different emoji, but now there are a lot more. More and more emoji have been added that can be merged. Which all, Google didn’t say. It does, however, give as examples, among other things, a rain of hamburgers. Fortunately, 9to5Google has made a list so you better know what to smash together.

The update will bring more to the smart keyboard, namely text stickers. The words you type will be turned into colorful stickers in no time. This is only available to those with a Pixel phone so far. So it sucks if you have another Android phone, although there is a bright spot. The Pixel 6 grammar checker will be extended to all Android phones.
