Emoji keyboard
Use them however and wherever you want
Do you know how to install the same emoji keyboard on your computer? With these simple steps, you can express yourself however you like from any device
We show you how to install the emoji keyboard on your computer easily, so you can express yourself the same way from your phone, tablets, or from any other device you use for your conversations.
In fact, we still remember the first emojis that could be used in Windows Live Messenger or even the traditional figure of the colon and parenthesis (or the semicolon and parenthesis) in SMS, before apps like WhatsApp appeared… then everything changed and emojis became the alphabet with which to express what we could not say with words.
That is why, if you miss the emoji keyboard on your computer, with these simple steps you can use it whenever you want, without needing to download any application.
If you have Windows 10, you only need to follow a few simple steps to activate it and have it on your PC.
Emoji or emoticon keyboard
This keyboard will allow us to write on it and we can use it to “decorate” the posts we want on Facebook, in emails, in the titles of videos on YouTube and in all the applications you can think of.
In fact, this emoji keyboard is already on your computer, although it is hidden. With the screen on the desktop, place the cursor over the taskbar at the bottom where you have no tabs or windows open.
Right-click to open a window where you will see the option to show the keyboard that Windows calls “touch”.
A keyboard will appear with which you can select the option to use an emoji keyboard, with its famous faces, flags, animals, palm tree, fruits, food, travel, or weather phenomena...
There will also be the option to pin it to the screen or configure it to be used as a touch keyboard for the tablet, with two parts separated on each side of the screen.
Although we do not want to make an exhaustive list of all the emojis you can find, there are some emojis that do not appear on that keyboard but that you can download from tools like Winmoji.
What we tell you is valid and useful especially for PCs, since for phones with Android 4.4 and later you do not need to download any application to use emojis on any platform. In fact, the virtual emoji keyboard comes integrated natively.
Unlock a hidden emoji keyboard
If you want to discover new emojis and unlock the hidden emoji keyboard that some iOS devices keep, you can follow these steps.
You will need to look for the settings app on your iOS device and click on the General option, where you will find another button that says “keyboard,” which will lead you to another series of options.
There you will need to press “Add new keyboard” and a list of language options will appear. Among that list, you can click on Japanese (and when asked, select the Romaji option and not Kana).
When you open your WhatsApp and look for the globe icon on the keyboard, you should click the button that says “123” and, next to the delete key, you should see an icon like this: “^ _ ^” which you should press.
If all has gone well, you will have unlocked a new set of emojis or gesture icons... you can use them for WhatsApp, messages, or apps you normally use.
With all these tricks, you will be able to express yourself and personalize your messages no matter what platform or device you are writing on.
