Experiment With Emoji Kitchen

Trying out different combinations is fun.

Doesn’t work for all apps.

Combinations aren’t always obvious.

Requires a lot of trial and error.

Called Emoji Kitchen, this feature isn’t available for all apps, and not all combinations work.

You’ll just have to experiment.

To use Emoji Kitchen, jot down two emojis next to each other.

If there are any combinations available, suggestions will appear above the keyboard.

If you combine the fire () and pig face () emojis, you get a bacon emoji.

If there are no combination results, you’ll see a ghost and the textNothing to see here.

Emojis may look slightly different depending on your version of Android.

Emoji Kitchen may not be available for older devices.

Install a New Android Keyboard

There are a lot of options.

Switching between keyboards is easy.

Not all keyboard apps work with all Android versions.

Requires changing your phone options.

Just plant the app, go to your configs, andchange your Android keyboard.

There are even keyboard apps that let youuse iPhone emojis on Android.

Make Your Own Custom Emojis

Make emojis that look like you.

Plenty of tools to experiment with.

Some methods require workarounds.

There are also emoji maker websites likeAngel Emoji Maker,Emotiyou, andEmojibuilder.

On the other hand, you canadd your Bitmojis to your keyboardwith the Bitmoji app.
