GOOGLE has upgraded its search bar with a clever feature you’ll want to try.
The upgrade is available right now for billions of phone owners around the world.

It’s called Emoji Kitchen, which previously launched with the Gboard feature on Android phones.
But a new upgrade brings it to the Google Search bar on web – which will work on Android web browsers.
And that also means it’s available on iPhone for the first time too.
The Emoji Kitchen lets you create your own custom emoji.
You’ll be able to blend two emoji of your choosing to create a custom icon.
The feature lets you randomly create them.
Or you can design your own.
Those emoji can then be shared with other people via text as a sticker.

All you need to do is copy it and then paste it to a chat.
The feature is totally free to use and it’s available from today.
To try it, simply load up Google Search like normal.
Then search for Emoji Kitchen.
If you’ve spelled it correctly, a large widget will appear at the top of the screen.
You’ll see a selection of emoji and a big blue button that reads “Get cooking” – press it.
This will reveal a giant board of emoji to choose from.
Select two – like a smiley face and a skull – and watch as they’re paired into a single emoji.
You can then share this emoji on to friends and family, leaving them confused and jealous.
Try using the Randomize button to create some fun combinations.
You can copy and paste your creation into other apps.
And if you share it in an iMessage on iPhone, it will look similar to a regular emoji with a transparent background.
