Google rolls out ‘Emoji bar’ feature for Gboard in India

Google has been testing its new feature ‘Emoji bar’ for the last few months in the beta apps. The emoji bar is aimed at giving the users a more simplified way to use emojis to express their feelings through messages.

Today, the ‘Emoji bar’ feature has been rolled out to all Gboard users in India. Google has completed the testing and has now introduced the feature to the common people.

The Emoji bar appears right above the keyboard which will help the users to quickly insert multiple emojis without visiting the emoji gallery.

When you first open the Gboard after you have received the latest update, you’ll get a short tutorial about the Emoji bar.

The first slide in the tutorial welcomes you the emoji bar which will help you to access your favourite emojis instantly. There is also an emoji icon on the right end of the bar, which will get you to all the other emojis. But I feel this emoji icon was not required, as Gboard already has a dedicated emoji icon, second-left key in the last row of the keyboard, which takes you to the dedicated emoji page.

In the beta version, the emoji bar was working properly only with Google messages. But now with the full update, it will work almost everywhere, including WhatsApp which is one of the most used instant messaging apps in India.

Google also gave the option to its users to remove the bar in case they don’t like using it. You will have to just swipe the emoji bar and can find the Remove bar option. This option won’t be necessary because Google has done a good job by introducing this new feature.

Always going to the dedicated emoji page is somewhat not very desired so you can now get all your favourite emojis at the top of the keyboard. The emojis displayed on the bar will keep on changing depending on your use and favourite emojis.
