Key features
Smooth and intuitive keyboard layout with all the emojis up to unicode 16.0 available in separate 8 categories with a 'recent chosen' tab.
You can easily switch between categories by swiping or selecting the category from the top bar.
Emojis that cannot be displayed are filtered out (only for Android)
You can even search for your emoji by using the search functionality available in the bottom bar.
From this keyboard you can also delete an emoji from the position of the cursor or add a space from the bottom bar.
Determine the height of the keyboard and show or hide it using a simple variable
The emojis have an indicator which shows if you can add a skin component to them. If this is the case you can add one by long pressing the emoji and selecting a skin component from the resulting popup window.
Change the default light setting to dark mode
Instead of the keyboard you can also use the quick emoji popup widget. Select one of the many quick reaction emojis or from your recent emojis. The widget has a "+" button that you can implement to open the regular emoji keyboard.
