Emoji have managed to become quite popular over the years, and are an integral part of messaging for many people. You can access emoji from pretty much every keyboard out there, even though some of them offer more choice than others.
Having said that, we’re not here to check out emoji-focused keyboard, but rather emoji applications in general, as there are quite a few that are available in the Google Play Store. As per usual, not all of those apps are great, so we’ve hand-picked the very best ones.
In the list down below, you will find nine emoji applications that may interest you. These applications range from a keyboard app and emoji matching app, to apps that allow you to create your own emoji. Before you start browsing, do note that these apps are not listed in a specific order.
Facemoji Keyboard
Facemoji Keyboard is one of the most popular emoji-oriented keyboards out there. This is a regular keyboard as well, of course, but it just offers more in the emoji department than your regular keyboard. This keyboard comes with over 3,600 emoji that you can choose from, and the app itself comes in two variants. You can download the “Lite” version, and use it for free, or spring for a “Pro” variant that will open up the whole app for you.
