Swiftkey, the Microsoft-owned popular keyboard maker, released its first new product today since being acquired. The new keyboard (yes, they made another keyboard) is called Swiftmoji and it aims to help you become the emoji champion you always hoped to become. In fact, the sell here is that it “removes the frustration of playing hunt-the-emoji” from your life and predicts which emoji you might want.
The app, much like Swiftkey does with word prediction, predicts emoji related to your conversation and offers them up through a shortcut bar at the top of the keyboard. Swiftmoji also brings forward trending emoji from around the world, so that you are never left still using the laughing-crying emoji, while everyone else is onto the new new.
The app is available for free today on both Android and iOS.

All I want is for them to get rid of the emoji button on their standard keyboard. My Enter key shouldn’t double as an emoji one. Give me the option to turn this off. I have my double tap set at 200ms for my keys and this emoji BS ruins it for me.
I’m I the only one who finds this useless?
umm… lame.
I’m ready for this emoji garbage to go away now.
Me too. I got my fill of smiley-based communication with AOL instant messenger about 15 years ago.

History repeats itself. We go from cave drawings -> hieroglyphics -> letters & words -> and now are reverting back to cave drawings in the form of emojis to communicate. Maybe cavemen were right all along.
Just what I needed!!! /s
