WhatsApp is the instant messaging application most used by mobile phone users with Android and IOS operating systems. Allows you to send text messages, videos, audio, photos, stickers, and emojis.
But the latter can not only be done with those that are included in the app, but it also allows you to combine emojis to personalize them in the messages. It is possible to carry out this action if you use the Google keyboard, Gboard.
To create custom emojis in WhatsApp, the first thing you have to do is have Gboard. If you don't have it, you can download it for free from the Google Play Store.
The function that allows this combination of emojis is called "Emoji Kitchen", and you can create up to 14,000 different emojis through the mix of available emojis.
What you have to do is select the two emojis you want to combine, see the results that Gboard offers you and share the one you like the most in the WhatsApp conversation. But first, you must configure a Google keyboard setting:
Open the keyboard in any application, even in WhatsApp itself
Go to the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner of the keyboard.
Access "Preferences".
Check the box "Emoji stickers" to have Gboard suggest stickers when you select them on the keyboard.
Once this feature is enabled, you just have to follow these steps to create custom emojis and share them in your WhatsApp conversations:
Open WhatsApp and enter the chat you want.
Open the keyboard by clicking on the text field.
Tap the sticker icon on the top bar of the keyboard.
And then on the emoji icon that appears at the bottom of the keyboard.
Once inside the emoji menu, select the two emojis that you want to join. Automatically, at the top, you will see the available combinations.
Choose the combination that you like the most and it will be shared in the chat as a sticker.
Another method to mix emojis is to do it from the Emoji Kitchen website itself. There you just have to select an emoji in each box and see the combination that it offers you. You can share or download it and send it on WhatsApp, as well as let Emoji Kitchen surprise you with its own random combinations.
You can use any of these options to give a different touch to your WhatsApp conversations and surprise your contacts with emojis that they have not seen until now. Perhaps more than one bookmark these original stickers and use them in their own WhatsApp chats.
