There are over 3,000 emojis, but you're sure to miss one. Gboard has Emoji Kitchen for this, the name given to its emoji combiner with 100,000 other options additional. These options are now more accessible than ever thanks to a new feature enabled for Gboard users.
Gboard changes its emoji picker so that we can find combinations of emojis without having to try your luck one by one, with a new section where we are shown all the possible combinations for a specific emoji, in addition to the recipe for one of these combinations.
Gboard redesigns the emoji kitchen
Emoji Kitchen is one of the funniest features of Google Keyboard, alternative emojis resulting from the combination of drawings existing, like a box full of cockroaches or a ghost in love. Many of these combinations are great and you can send them as stickers in many compatible apps, such as WhatsApp or Telegram.
The problem is that Gboard hasn't given us much control over this sticker combination, especially which combinations are available. This is changing now with some related developments happening now. via Gboard beta 13.4although sooner or later they should reach all users, with or without Google Pixel.

The main change is an arrow in the top bar which opens a whole new section where we can explore all the available emoji combinations. Here, if we tap on one of these combined emojis, we will see what the recipe is (i.e. which two emojis were used to create it).
Even more interesting is to click on the floating button to choose an emoji and see all the combinations available, something that until now could not be done from Gboard on mobile, but could be done from Emoji Kitchen on the web, in a Google search.
This new feature will help us discover new emoji designs (or rather combinations of emojis) ready to be used in our chat applications and which we could have neglected. After all, with 100,000 combinations available, it's impossible to know them all.
