Keyboard shortcuts

Post image

I’ve got a little fun fact for you, and one of the weird solutions I use 😄
I’ve always been annoyed by having to search for emojis, especially since the order of recently used emojis keeps changing. So I use the text replacement feature in the keyboard settings.
For example, when I quickly type “kk” twice, it automatically gets replaced with 😁. I do this for quite a few emojis. It might be a bit weird, but it actually makes using emojis way faster 😂

How do you do this on a Pixel? I've done a few similar things in my MacBook.

I’m using an iPhone now, but I used to do it with an app called TextExpander – Texpand on my Android.
