If you love expressing yourself through an emoji, then your next move should be to download a celebrity emoji keyboard. Many unlikely celebrities (like basketball star Stephen Curry) have created their own emoji keyboards, whether to improve their personal brand or because they too love to express themselves through emojis. These keyboards might finally offer you the emojis you’ve been craving — emojis you didn’t even know you wanted. The following are the best celebrity emoji keyboards available for Android right now:

1. Kimoji by Whalerock Industries
The app that started it all can be yours for $1.99. Kim Kardashian West’s “Kimojis” are heavily detailed, and more closely resemble Sims characters than emojis. The keyboard includes 400+ emojis and GIFs of Kim and her family making various expressions, in addition to speech bubbles, gummy bears, and a hair dryer.

2. Justmoji by Kapps Media LLC
Justin Bieber’s emoji keyboard is available in the Play store for $2.99. This app includes a variety of emojis, stickers, and GIFs — enough to satisfy any Belieber. They’re often humorous and make fun of Justin Bieber, as exemplified by the Justmoji who was pelted with eggs.

3. Stephmoji by AppMoji, Inc.
This app is perfect for any Warrior fans, or general Stephen Curry fans. It’s $1.99 from the Play store, and includes a selection of basketball emojis, Curry as Jesus, and emojis of his family.

4. ChyMoji by GlamRoks Creative
Blac Chyna is considered to be the newest member of the Kardashian family, so it’s no wonder she created her own emoji keyboard. It’s $1.99 to purchase and includes 700+ emojis inspired by Snapchat filters, in addition to emojis of “raining” money, Blac Chyna expressing herself, and even Vaseline.

5. MuvaMoji by AppMoji, Inc.
Amber Rose’s emoji keyboard ($1.99) has a large selection of emojis by category such as LGBT pride and speech bubbles, in addition to emojis of Amber Rose. There’s also a huge selection of makeup, clothing, beverage related emojis, and more. Plus, the app is updated weekly to make sure you always get your emoji fix.

Protect Your Device with PSafe
Many malicious apps are created to mimic popular apps in the Google Play store to trick you into downloading them. Unfortunately, sometimes a harmful app can be downloaded thousands of times before Google can remove it. Be cautious of which apps you download, and avoid any suspicious or strange-looking apps. As an extra precaution, download PSafe Total for your Android to protect your device against malware and security threats 24/7.

How Have the Emojis We Love Evolved Over the Years?

Emojis are so common that you might not even think about them before you use them. But, like anything digital, emojis were new — and confusing — to new computer users when they were first introduced in the 1990’s. Here, we’ll talk about the ubiquitous emoji — where it’s been, where it is now, and where it’s going.

The History of Emojis
Emojis were originally introduced in Japan nearly two decades ago. Shigetaka Kurita created the emoji in the mid-1990s. In the early days, users simply put together different symbols to look like faces. They were simply a string of keyboard icons put together in emails to express conversation. The symbols didn’t transform into anything else like they do today; instead, a colon and a parenthesis were used together to look like a smiling face or a semicolon and a parenthesis were used to make a winking face.

Emojis in Present Day
Now, emojis are automatically transformed into smiling, usually yellow emoticons when you type the symbols into a variety of programs. You can also choose from a number of action-oriented emoticons in your texting, chatting, or email applications that range from a girl dancing the hula to a smiling face with two heart eyes blowing a kiss. Currently, there are 140 emoji characters common to apps and devices.

Emojis do more these days than just display your emotion. For example, you can use Fooji, a New York City food delivery service, to order food using a series of emojis. Dominos also will deliver pizzas to your door if you simply #OrderWithaTweet using a pizza emoji. In email, emojis in the subject line are helping marketing campaigns — users are less likely to delete emails with happy emojis in the subject line.

The Future of Emojis
Emojis are being created to better represent people’s daily lives. Femojis have been created to represent women aiming for gender equality, and “abused” emojis are designed to help children report abuse. There are 250 new emojis coming to standard devices in the near future — who knows what they will look like?

If you want to communicate using emojis all day (and night), download PSafe Total. PSafe’s Quick Optimization and Quick Cleanup feature will keep your phone fast enough that you can send emojis on all of the applications you like to use. Plus, PSafe’s unbeatable virus protection scans your SD card and phone files 24 hours a day so you’re always protected from hacks.

New Empowering Female Emojis Coming to Your Android

PSafe Newsroom — Fri, 30 Sep 2016 22:31:13 +0000

Emojis are everywhere — from text messages to Snapchat. They might seem frivolous, but they are used by millions (maybe billions!) of people every day. And, let’s face it, emojis depicting women have been limited. There’s the woman painting her nails. The lady dancing. In emoji land, women aren’t well-represented. Now, that’s all changing. A group of four Google designers created 11 new emojis that show women in new — and realistic — professions. Let’s learn a bit more about these gender equality emojis.

What Professions are Represented?
The new professions are diverse. Some of the professions included are a female doctor, coder, mechanic, chef, farmer, musician, teacher, and scientist, among others. Male versions of these emoji professions will also be available.

How Were the Professions Chosen?
The professions were presented at the Unicode Consortium, a nonprofit in Silicon Valley that considers the adoption of new emojis. The professions were chosen because women dominated these professions — or they were joining these workforces in increasing numbers.

Who Cares?
It might seem like it doesn’t matter whether or not women are represented equally in tiny cartoon figure form as men. But millions of people do use emojis to communicate on a variety of devices every day. 78% of women use emojis often, in contrast to only 60% of men. Young girls in particular send a billion emojis every day.

That frequency of emoji use was one of the reasons the designers saw the need for the new emojis. Currently, male emojis dominate the Unicode — emoji men have professions like construction work and police work, and take part in sports like surfing, bike riding, and boat rowing. Women emojis, in contrast, don’t have as many options. They primarily perform stereotypically feminine activities like painting their nails or having their hair cut.

When Will I Get my New Emojis on my Phone?
Not yet. Although these emojis have been created and approved, they won’t appear automatically on your phone. Instead, Google, Apple, and Microsoft have to deploy them into their applications for use.

When you get your new empowered emojis, you’re never going to want to stop texting with them. But, if you’re not careful, that can take a toll on your phone. PSafe Total can help. PSafe’s CPU Cooler makes sure your device is cooled down and lag time is eliminated when your phone is working too hard during the day.

How to Add Non-Default Emojis to Your Text Messages

PSafe Newsroom — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 21:16:20 +0000

We’ve been smitten with emojis ever since they were first introduced in Japan more than a decade ago. Now we can’t get enough. We wonder when more will be added to our keyboards so that we can finally have that perfect emoji to express our feelings. Luckily, Android 7.0 (“Nougat”) has released a new set of fully modified emojis that more closely resemble the people, places, and things that they’re mimicking.

Nonetheless, you can now add even more emoji options to your text messages and messaging apps. But before you start downloading new emoji apps to add to your keyboard, you should make sure that your default keyboard on your device includes or supports emojis. If you use Google keyboard, then you’re already set. You can also download additional keyboards from the Play store, like Swype or Swiftkey to have access to a different set of emojis. If you want to add even more emoji options to your phone, then you can download a variety of apps as well from the Play store.

Emojidom by PlantPurple B.V. is a free app with more than 4,000 emojis. You can use the emoticons on a variety of chat apps, in addition to MMS and email. The images stay the same across devices, meaning no more confusion when you send an incorrectly translated emoji to your iPhone friend. New emoticons are added monthly, and you can add more to your collection by earning coins—no purchase necessary!

Lastly, you can download the Kika Emoji Keyboard Pro by Kika Keyboard Tech, which is also free to download. This app includes more than 1,200 emojis, stickers, and GIFs that are usable across a variety of applications, in addition to MMS. You also can customize the theme of your keyboard, choose from a variety of fonts and sounds, and use swipe-style texting. While this app has fewer options that Emojidom, the emoticons and images in this app more closely resemble emojis than Emojidom, which tends to be more sticker-like.
