How To Enable Emoji Characters in iOS 6

We told you about Apple removing emoji apps from the App Store now that iOS 6 makes an extended emoji keyboard available for use on iOS devices. But how do you enable the emoji keyboard so you can continue to use the popular picture characters in your messages and apps? It’s quick and easy, here’s how.

Enter settings on your iOS device. Select “General”. In the General menu, select “Keyboard.”

In the Keyboard menu, select “Keyboards.” In the Keyboards menu, select “Add New Keyboard…”

Select “Emoji.”

That’s it! From then on, anytime you want to use the emoji keyboard, simply tap the “globe” on the pop-up keyboard. The emoji characters will be ready and waiting.
