Customizing emojis for WhatsApp is possible. This is how you do it

It has been many years since emoticons they are part of written communication. With Messenger they became very popular, consolidating themselves as the only way to respond. Thanks to the current interactive communication applications, the variety of emoticons has grown to communicate solely and exclusively through emojis. Now the only thing missing would be to be able to create your own emojis to get to express what the default icons cannot capture.

This option is possible thanks to Google GBoard keyboard. This tool is available for iOS and Android, and allows users combine two emojis to create a totally new one. Of course, it can not always be done since they are not combinations in real time but emojis adapted by the Google team.

That is, this system is based on the traditional emojis from which to create your own creations. The result, it should be noted, which will be rather a sticker (a sticker) more than an emoji, but up to 14,000 different options can be created.

Creation step by step

First of all it is important download the app, the Gboard keyboard, and configure it by giving you full access to the mobile device. Then you have to activate the ‘Emoji Suggestions’ feature, within the Gboard settings. By default it is already enabled.

Then you have to open the emoji panel of the Gboard keyboard, and select different emojis so that a row of suggestions appears based on the chosen ones. Once the choice is made, it will only be possible to send it.
