Gboard update allows keyboard to automatically chose emoji placements

Source: Google

Sometimes things are better expressed in emojis, at least I think so. And Google wants to make this process easier for Gboard users. It's introducing an "emojify" button on its keyboard. When you type out your sentence, hit the button and watch it shuffle through preferred emojis and their layout before sending your reply. The feature is now available in the beta version of the app in English and is expected to roll out to all users in the coming weeks.

Google has also added new Emoji Kitchen mashups for the season. This seasonal update brings what it says are the "best parts of fall to share with your Northern Hemisphere friends." Yes, that includes a pumpkin-spiced emoji.
