How to: Get and Use Emoji Icons

If the simple “smiley face” is just not good enough any more and you’re finding yourself inventing new “smileys” to express yourself, then Emoji Free! is the app for you!
You can use it in emails, notes, messages and more allowing you to be creative while getting your point across.

To find and install this app is easy. Simply open up your iTunes window and search for Emoji Free! Look for the logo and then click “install”.

Once the app is installed you will need to add it as a keyboard option in order to use it. This is simple too. Firstly, launch the Settings app and click on the General tab:

Once in the Keyboard window, click the International Keyboards tab:

Once in the Keyboards window, click on the Add New Keyboard tab and scroll down until you find and select Emoji:

You will now see that you have two keyboards activated in your Keyboards window:

And now to the fun part…how to use them! If you want to send an SMS or WhatsApp message (or even use them in your notes), simply open the app as normal. Click the “globe” icon on your keyboard to bring up the Emoji Free! icons:

There are various different smiley faces and other icons to choose from so you can be assured your message will come across as intended. (Note: The little dots at the top of each category shows the number of “pages” each category has. So if you can’t find what you’re looking for on the first page, then use your finger to swipe between pages until you find that special emoticon.)
