Sure, you can call a friend to update them on your weekend plans, but it&#8217;s not as quick or efficient as a simple text message. And when combined with the ever-growing library of emojis available for iPhone and Android, it&#8217;s easier than ever for recipients to convey your tone and true meaning loud and clear.<\/p>\n<p>Emojis have been around for decades and have become even more popular in 2024. Most smartphones come with their own catalog of default emojis, so you can quickly send a smiley face or thumbs up with just a few taps on the screen. Even better, new emojis are released regularly, giving you an interesting way to chat with friends.<\/p>\n<p>Companies like Apple tend to push these new emojis directly to devices, but that&#8217;s not the only way to get new emojis on your phone. From checking for software updates to installing companion apps, here&#8217;s how to get new emojis on your iPhone or Android device.<\/p>\n<h2>How to get new emojis on your iPhone<\/h2>\n<p>The easiest way to get new emojis is to wait for them to arrive via a software update on your iPhone.

Google&#8217;s Gboard keyboard does something interesting with emojis. No new emoticons will be added. Instead, remix an existing item. Have you ever wanted a ghost emoji with dollar sign eyes? Or is it an alien spaceship with a love heart on top? Probably not, but admit it. Now you&#8217;re thinking about how to use it, right?<\/p>\n<p>This all happens in Gboard and is only available for Android phones. If you have a Google Pixel smartphone, you may already have one, but you may need to turn it on. We&#8217;ll show you how to enable the feature and how it works. Download and activate Gboard before starting this process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Open your preferred messaging app and tap the text field to open the keyboard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step
