Emoji keyboard gives you a bucket full of options to customize your keyboard to be as appealing as possible. You can add your own photo from your gallery and use it as your keyboard background and adjust it’s opacity. You can also edit the keyboard keys colour to make it blend with your custom photo background as much as possible.
- Emojis. I remember lacking emojis and being left with a very funny option to get to use my emojis on other apps. I used to go to whatsapp and type in the emojis then copy to my keyboard, so that I can paste it on other apps that did not have emojis. Now, such an app comes to your rescue so you don’t have to deal with such setbacks in getting what you really want out of a keyboard.

- Swipe and smart input. When it comes to typing, it is very easy to speed up your typing with smart features like swiping over words on your keyboard to get the word instantly.
