Cloud Emoji Kitchen
Cloud launched with six pairings. Six, on the opening day of Emoji Kitchen in October 2020, while fire got 124 and mask got 153. It spent five years as an afterthought and then, on 2 February 2026, Google added 258 in one release. Cloud now covers 606 of 619 partners. Almost half of everything it can do is three months old.
Every Cloud mashup, and the day Google shipped it
Google added Cloud to Emoji Kitchen on 1 October 2020, starting with 6 combinations. It now mixes with 606 emojis, built up over 26 separate releases. The most recent, on 29 April 2026, added 1.

See every Emoji Kitchen release, with what each one added
Dates read from the Emoji Kitchen sticker assets Google serves through Gboard, which stamp each combination with the release that introduced it.
Five quiet years, then the second largest release on this page
The release table reads like two different emoji stuck together. Twenty-five small additions between 2020 and 2025, none of them dramatic, and then 258 at once. Only pizza's debut batch is bigger among the emoji people search for. Anyone who formed a view of cloud mashups before February 2026 was looking at roughly a third of the current set, and that includes most of the pages on the web that rank for the term.
Where the demand is not being met
Cloud ranks worse in search than any other hub we track, averaging position 13 while penguin manages 4.4 with a far smaller set. That gap is not about the stickers. It is about everyone else having written about cloud mashups when there were only a few hundred of them. The combination grid above is current, which is more than can be said for most of what is indexed on this subject.

Cloud Emoji Kitchen FAQ
How many cloud emoji combinations are there?
606 out of 619 possible partners, so only thirteen return nothing. Most of that coverage is recent: a single release on 2 February 2026 added 258 pairings.
Why did cloud have so few mashups before?
It launched on 1 October 2020 with six pairings, one of the smallest opening batches of any emoji, and grew slowly for five years. The February 2026 release changed that in a single step.
Is the cloud emoji the same as the cloud with rain?
No. The plain cloud on this page, the cloud with rain, the cloud with lightning and the sun behind cloud are separate characters, each with its own Emoji Kitchen set and its own artwork.
