160 Awesome, Ridiculous, and Downright Creepy Gboard Emoji Combos You Should Try Out

In 2020, among the many new devices, apps, services, and features that we witnessed, one of the standout, most-used additions was Gboard’s ability to combine two emojis to create an entirely new mashup sticker. This feature, known as the Emoji Kitchen, quickly became a favorite for many Android users, offering endless possibilities for creative expression. The magic of these combos lies in how they blend the essence of two distinct emojis into one unique and sometimes hilarious or bizarre sticker. It’s no surprise that this feature is beloved by many, including my colleague Taylor and numerous readers.

How to Use Gboard’s Emoji Kitchen

Gboard’s Emoji Kitchen is an exclusive feature of Google’s keyboard app. To access it, you’ll need to download and install Gboard from the Play Store and set it as your default keyboard. Once that’s done, head over to the keyboard settings and ensure that “Emoji browsing suggestions” is enabled under the Preferences section. This ensures that Emoji Kitchen is active.

Next, open any compatible app (we’ll list those below) and start typing. When you select two emojis, a strip appears above the keyboard with suggested mashup stickers. The first one on the left will usually be a combination of the last two emojis you typed. These combos can range from cute to slightly unsettling, making the experience all the more entertaining.

Compatible Apps for Gboard’s Emoji Combos

Not all apps support these emoji combos. However, the ones that do are typically apps that already support stickers. Here’s a list of confirmed apps where you can enjoy Gboard’s Emoji Kitchen:

• Google Messages
• WhatsApp
• Telegram
• Twitter
• Instagram
• Facebook Messenger
• Signal
• TextNow
• LinkedIn

If you primarily use any of these apps for communication, you’re in for a treat!

All the Supported Emojis (220+ and Counting)

Creating these mashups likely requires a significant amount of time and creativity from Google’s designers. Some combinations, like pig + fire = bacon or snowman + fire = melted snowman, are more thoughtful and intricate, while others are straightforward. However, not all emojis are supported for combinations. You’ll find that most human emojis, hand gestures, and flags aren’t compatible with Emoji Kitchen. The selection is also limited in the food, objects, and symbols categories.
