Never hunt for emoji again: SwiftKey's predictive keyboard finds icons for you

SwiftKey has launched a new keyboard for iOS and Android devices today that should cut down on the time it takes for emoji-addicts to type out a message. The app - cunningly titled 'Swiftmoji' - is a separate download from the main SwiftKey app, and simply puts emoji at your fingertips. That's hardly novel, however, as emoji keyboards are nothing new but what most can't do is predict which emoji you need next and change those suggestions as you keep typing. Essentially, it's predictive text for emoji that also happily reminds you of emoji you'd long-forgotten had existed. For example, type, 'I'm tired' and you'd expect to see the appropriate 'zzz' emoji, but it's a bit harder to work out why the 'Registered Trademark' symbol is another suggestion for that same text.
