What is Emoji Kitchen?

Emoji Kitchen is a fun tool that's been set up by Google.

It allows phone users to mix up their emojis, blending them together to create all manner of crazy concoctions to add to messages.

Emojis have become a part of our written language in recent years, and they've constantly evolved and adapted as new trends and topics have emerged.

They allow people to express their thoughts and feelings in a way they might otherwise find difficult through words.

Many have perfectly innocent uses - however some emojis are used to represent something completely different to what you might expect.

Not everybody understands what they mean too.

How do I use Emoji Kitchen?

It's really simple to add some crazy mixed-up emojis into your messages.

You select the first emoji you want to base your creation off, and then you pick a second one to blend the characteristics.

As soon as you're happy with your creation, you can hit the "copy" button to add the emoji to your clipboard.

If you're needing some emoji-inspiration, you can even hit the dice button to generate something completely random.

You can then paste it into your chat as a sticker.

Is Emoji Kitchen available on iPhone and Android?

Emoji Kitchen is available on all smartphones, including iPhone and Android.

The easiest way to use it is to open up your browser and head straight to Google.

Click on "Get Cooking" and the Emoji Kitchen will load up in your browser, ready to use straight away without the need to download anything.

Android users can also access Emoji Kitchen through the Gboard app.

This means you can combine emojis whilst you're in your chat feed and send them straight away.

There are also a number of similar apps, but for now the Google one is only available through your browser or Gboard.

Is Emoji Kitchen available on WhatsApp?

Emoji Kitchen works with most messaging services - including WhatsApp and Apple iMessage.

You should be able to use it in any type of chat where you can add pictures.

All you need to do is use the paste function of your phone to add the sticker in once you've created it.

The range of emojis is currently limited so your favourite might not appear just yet, however it's expected the number will increase over time.

Researchers recently said as many as a quarter of children aged between five and seven now own a smartphone.

It's led to concerns about children accessing the internet unsupervised.

Concerns were also raised after WhatsApp lowered its age limit from 16 to 13.
