While emojis are fun and useful, at times they don't send quite the right message. Many conversations demand more than a simple pile of smiling poop — like blowing a kiss during one of the best romantic exchanges ever. To enhance your messaging experience and strike the exact response from others, we will show you how to create custom emoji on your Android phone. Emoji Kitchen The latest Gboard beta for Android, launched in February, includes a new feature called Emoji Kitchen. However, you don't cook up a custom emoji. Instead, you tap a single emoji to conjure up a small gallery of new variants created at Google. Consider this feature as an expanded library of what you already utilize each day. Not every emoji provides multiple variants — at least, not yet. You'll see a message that says, "no suggestions here… try a different emoji," when you tap an incompatible emoji. That will likely change as the Emoji Kitchen grows closer to leaving beta. Google con...

Samsung's Galaxy S10 Plus with One UI's dark mode enabled.  Jason Cipriani/CNET Your phone's dark mode is a polarizing feature. Some people love it, and others prefer the more traditional brighter background. But even if you prefer to remain in the light, you should consider the benefits of using dark mode. According to Google, it saves battery life and reduces eye strain when you're using your phone in a dim environment.  Last year was a good year for dark mode enthusiasts. In August, Google released Android 10 with a true dark mode and then Apple released iOS 13 the next month with a dark mode of its own.  Below are apps I've found that either support Android 10's dark theme or have their ...

Five years ago, Sharad Mittal had a dilemma. He and his wife had just watched Noah, a movie starring Russell Crowe with a heavy environmental message underneath its retelling of the classic Biblical tale. The movie moved him deeply, giving him a new perspective of the world that he says literally changed his life. "I became a hardcore environmentalist that day," he told Engadget. At the time, he was five years into running two successful e-commerce sites -- Kinivo and BlueRigger -- both of which sell electronics like Bluetooth headphones and HDMI cables. After doing some research and a bit of soul searching, he realized that his business was contributing to the current climate crisis. "Something went off in my head," he said. "I am part of the mess. I am part of the problem of this culture of disposable electronics." He was so burdened by this quandary that he even thought of shutting down his business entirely. But that was just too crazy of an opti...

But will the new laws save lives? That, we don't know. The first state law requiring hands-free phoning was enacted in New York 19 years ago; today 20 other states and the District of Columbia have such rules.

Several research studies have found that chatting while driving causes dangerous distraction, whether the phone is in the driver's hand or not. Maybe Massachusetts will settle the question, once and for all, if we can get enough of the state's famously irritable drivers to comply. It shouldn't be a burden for owners of newer cars who already place calls and play tunes using a Bluetooth radio connection to the vehicle's built-in audio system. Many such cars also include programs that let a user connect Apple or Android phones directly to the car's computer network. Apple's version is called CarPla...
