SwiftKey has introduced a new virtual QWERTY keyboard today for iOS and Android. Called Swiftmoji, the keyboard uses something akin to a word prediction engine to determine which emoji should be used next in your email or text. The app also brings up new, trending emoji from around the world so that you will always have the latest symbols at your fingertips.

Downloading the Swiftmoji app will keep users from having to search through countless emoji to find the one that matches the situation being typed about. For example, if you're typing out something related to Muhammad Ali, the goat emoji will come up for the Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T.).

With 6 billion emoji disseminated globally every day, you can see how the Swiftmoji keyboard could come in handy. It's like knowing the right thing to say in every conversation by having the perfect word at your fingertips. Except that with Swiftmoji, we're talking about emoji instead of words.

"Emoji popularity has exploded and very quickly it’s become the most-used unofficial language globally. However keyboards have been slow to capitalize on its rising popularity and the ongoing, daily quest to find the right emoji is still a big frustration. That’s where Swiftmoji comes in – suggesting just the right emoji for what you want to say"-Peter Holc, iOS Swiftmoji product manager
