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.

Lastly, you can download the Kika Emoji Keyboard Pro by Kika Keyboard Tech, which is also free to download.

You also can customize the theme of your keyboard, choose from a variety of fonts and sounds, and use swipe-style texting.
