Genius Google trick lets you combine TWO emoji – including steamy ‘love poo’
GOOGLE has released hundreds of new "crossover emoji" onto smartphones around the world.
You can have a cowboy heart, a sad robot and even a loved-up poo.
It's part of a new Emoji Kitchen feature that lets you turn two separate emoji into a single icon.
It's not possible to mix every single emoji, of course.
But when you tap an emoji, you'll now be presented with a list of available combinations you can use.
"Gboard on Android now takes your favorite emoji and mixes them into customized stickers, helping you express those nuanced thoughts and feelings," said Jennifer Daniel, Creative Director for Emoji at Google.
"We affectionately refer to this feature as Emoji Kitchen, because you can explore new 'recipes' of expressions using your favourite emoji as ingredients."
In practice, it means there are now hundreds of brand new
Each of the new icons has been lovingly created by an emoji expert at Google – so they should all look decent.
Some of the combinations are particularly bizarre, however.
You can combine a monkey with a cactus, and even make a flirtatious winky ghost.
How will these new emoji change your life? It's up to you to find out.
