Typing Emojis on iPhone or Android With Third-Party Apps
There are several third-party keyboard emoji apps out there that you can download for Android and iOS devices. These apps integrate with your device’s existing keyboard, enhancing it with new emojis and emoji features. Here are three of the best that we suggest you try for both Android and iOS devices.
SwiftKey
SwiftKey is a smart keyboard from Microsoft. It includes all the default emojis plus additional ones. The app learns which emojis you like to use the most so it can suggest the right emojis for you to use at the right time. Like the default Android keyboard, SwiftKey has a smiley face icon to select to type emojis. Over time as you use it, you will see smart suggestions for emojis based on your habits. SwiftKey is free for Android.
GBoard
GBoard is Google’s smart keyboard. It’s known for its powerful emoji search function, which makes finding and selecting the perfect emoji faster and easier than ever. All you have to do is tap the smiley face icon to see the list of emojis or use the Google search bar at the top to start searching for one. GBoard is free for both iOS and Android.
Fleksy
Another top keyboard is Fleksy, which offers over 800 different emojis. Just tap the smiley face icon to view and select them. Fleksy is free for both iOS and Android.
