Gboard’s Emoji Kitchen feature is live in the latest beta version of the app on Android and hopefully will roll out to the stable version as well as for iOS devices. To get this feature, update the Gbaord to the latest beta version either from the Play Store (if you are already a beta tester of the app) or fetch the APK from APKMirror.
You can access the Emoji Kitchen feature from the Emoji section of the keyboard. The keyboard expands on top to make room for new custom emojis. You can select two or more emojis and get a new custom emoji driven from the selected emoji. This feature offers a different variant of the emoji, you can scroll it to access all of them. This custom emoji feature is not compatible with all the emoji. It works with smileys and some other emojis. You can just select the emoji to check it that’s supported or not.

This new Emoji Kitchen is a nice feature that allows users to express themselves better with minimal efforts. Let’s just wait and see if it gains the popularity it might deserve.
