On the device, users have the ability to add emoticons to conversations on various messaging applications such as Facebook Messenger or Zalo. This article will provide two methods for enabling these icons.

1. Enable the icon keyboard

Step 1: Go to “Settings” —> “General Settings”

Step 2: Select “Keyboard” —> “Keyboard”

Step 3: Select “Add new keyboard” —> “Icon”

Step 4: Click on the sphere icon in the lower left corner to display the keyboard icon

2. Quickly type emojis with keyboard shortcuts

This method allows for fast typing by using shortcuts, similar to typing icons on Yahoo Messenger or the “:v” and “:3” icons on Facebook.

Step 1: Follow the same steps as above, “Settings” —> “General Settings” —> “Keyboard”

Step 2: Select “Text Replacement” —> “+”

Step 3: Enter a shortcut as the key and choose an image to replace it, then click “Save” in the upper right corner to finish.

For example, if you want to enter “=))” to display a smiley face, enter “=))” as the shortcut and choose a smiley face emoticon as the phrase. You can replace it with any other icon you prefer.
