One of the distinguishing factors people notice first about the new Apple software is the iOS 8 keyboard. This new app wants to take advantage of the upgrade by offering you an emoji autocomplete feature. Keymoji is designed for both iPhone and iPad. While it's optimized for the iPhone 5, it may just be one of the first apps you download on your new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus.
The iOS 8 keyboard app automatically finishes your text with emoji characters and will also save your favorite emoji combinations. The text to picture tool lets you illustrate what you have to say by finishing your sentences with emojis. For example, if you start typing 'Happy Birthday,' a selection of birthday emojis will appear for you to choose.
