* Ability to add custom photos as categories or individual symbols in Admin Mode * Symbol sentence-builder and next-symbol prediction This application was built during one of SwiftKey’s Innovation Weeks and is being released in SwiftKey Greenhouse. This can be accessed via the purple 'SKS: Admin' icon in your apps (this will be automatically downloaded along with the main SwiftKey Symbols app). SwiftKey Symbols has a separate Admin Mode for managing your symbol collection. SwiftKey Symbols learns from you in order to predict the symbol you’re most likely to want next, saving time and helping you to communicate faster and more easily. SwiftKey Symbols is a symbol-based communication app, powered by SwiftKey’s prediction technology.

The new features are available in SwiftKey's 4.5 beta, an early release of the keyboard app that tests new features before the company pushes them out to the paid app in the Google Play Store. The new number row cuts down on the need to switch back and forth between both screens, thus saving you time when typing. Before, numbers and other symbols were tucked away in a separate screen, accessible by tapping the '123' key. SwiftKey's other addition to the beta app is a new optional number row above the letter keys. If your phone is running Jelly Bean, you'll see black and white emoji, while the color emoji are available only in 4.4 KitKat.

Emoji is only available for phones running Android 4.1 and up. The other way to add those little pictures to your text or email is to hit the return/smiley key in the lower right of SwiftKey's keyboard to show all the available emoji in the app. The new numbers row puts numerals within easy reach.
