What is Google Emoji Kitchen? How are emojis turned into stickers?

Google is generally known for its search functionality and productivity applications like Google Docs or Google Sheets. However, those active on Twitter have likely seen the popular emoji-mixing bots that combine multiple emojis into a single one. The Google Emoji Kitchen feature allows users to create fun and unique stickers by merging emojis. In this article, we detail this feature and explain how and on which devices it can be used.

Initially, this feature was only available to Android users via Gboard. However, Google’s Gboard app is now available on iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS, and other devices. This feature allows users to add a bit of joy to their daily communications by creating various emoji combinations.

How to Activate and Use Emoji Kitchen

This emoji-centric tool, similar to the temporary and often interactive logos like Google Doodles, can add a bit of fun to your daily life. Activating Emoji Kitchen on iPhone and Android devices is quite simple. Here are the steps:

How to Use Emoji Kitchen on iPhone

1. Open your browser and go to google.com.
2. Search for “Emoji Kitchen” and tap on the emojis in the widget box that appears on the screen.
3. Click the “Get Started” button and select the two emojis you want to combine.

5. Tap the Copy icon located just below the new emoji combination. Then paste this emoji into the text field of any chat application you wish.

How to Use Emoji Kitchen on Android

On Android phones, Emoji Kitchen offers a broader database of emoji combinations via the Gboard app. Open Gboard and tap the emoji icon in the bottom row to display the emoji keyboard. Then, tap any emoji to see possible combinations in the area just above the keyboard and select your favorite combination. Finally, tap on the selected emoji combination to add it to your message and send it.

Which Applications are Compatible with Emoji Kitchen?

This Google service is compatible with popular messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, and Telegram. The created emoji combinations are in .png format, so they can be easily shared in these applications.

Use of Artificial Intelligence in Emoji Kitchen

Unlike Google’s AI-based projects such as Gemini, Google’s emoji creation service does not largely rely on artificial intelligence technologies. It uses predefined combinations and creative pairings of existing emojis. Google’s emoji designers manually create these combinations. Google Emoji Kitchen is a fun feature that allows users to add color to their daily communications by combining emojis. Available on iPhone, Android, Windows, and macOS devices, this feature makes messaging more creative and enjoyable.
