If you think your texting game is a bit dry and want to spice things up a bit, then Gboard has got the perfect tool for you. Currently being rolled out to users of the virtual keyboard, Gboard is adding a ‘magic wand’ button that would fill your text with emojis!

As reported by 9to5google, users that have gotten the update said that a new magic wand button would now appear at the top right of the keyboard. Pressing on it will then fill what you’ve written with emojis.

In fact, the new feature on Google's virtual keyboard seems to be pretty smart too as it is able to identify and contextualise what you’ve typed. Emojis that would be inserted into your text are actually relevant to your message rather than just random emojis.

Besides that, the feature is also not limited to Gboard on Android but will also be available on the iOS version of the app. However, as of the time of writing, the update has not reached the masses just yet and the feature is also still missing from the Gboards on our devices. 

Nevertheless, it looks like a pretty awesome feature, though we do advise you to recheck the automatically inserted emojis before pressing send. This is to avoid any awkward misunderstandings if Gboard somehow put an inappropriate emoji in your text.
