Emojis have become an integral part of our everyday digital communication. However, at times, the default emoji list can feel somewhat limited.
Fortunately, Gboard offers a cool feature known as Emoji Kitchen, which allows you to create new emojis by combining existing ones.
In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to use Emoji Kitchen on your Android and iOS devices.
What Is Emoji Kitchen on Gboard?
Emoji Kitchen is a simple yet creative tool. Google has developed over 15,000 unique combinations of emojis that appear when you select at least two required emojis.
