NBA emojis are coming to Gboard, Google’s keyboard for Android.

With one swift tap to the emoji button on the keyboard, users will be able to paste their favorite NBAmoji stickers directly into their conversations.

Developed in a partnership with YinzCam, the NBAmoji App first became available via the App Store and Google Play in 2016 during the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Since then, the app has updated and offers hundreds of NBA and WNBA emojis, as well as special collections for NBA events, teams and more and is now available on Gboard on Android devices.

The Gboard App features glide typing, voice typing in addition to Google Search, emoji and gif search and multilingual typing.
