Tips for iPhone/iPod touch ~ Using Emoticons (Emoji, Kaomoji) !

Sorry guys, this feature might be native to only Japanese iPhones. I mean, iPhones originally sold in Japan. Or at least when I filmed this. It seems as iOS 5 is now out, anyone can by native use emoticons like I show in this video.

You can activate (if you don't know yet) what we Japanese call "emoji" and "kaomoji" on your iPhone or iPod touch.

Here's the way: Open up "Settings", go to "General", "Keyboard", "International Keyboards" and "Add New Keyboard..." And now you have emoji.

To use kaomoji, you need to install Japanese keyboard. Add Japanese keyboard, whichever "Japanese Romaji" and "Japanese Ten Key" is fine. Ten Key is what I use.
"Romaji" version: when you are on Japanese keyboard when typing, just clik "123" button and you see ^-^ in the left next to "X (backspace)" button.
"Ten Key" version: you also see ^-^. Just click on it.

Good luck~.

@2013Xtian I heard, if you are using iOS 5, emoji (emoticons) are default.

i have an iPod touch. i downloaded this thing on my mac. did everything he told me too and it didn't show up under settings on my iPod touch..ps can you maybe hold the camera steady so i can see what you're doing? :P

@Meilynn93 Maybe this is only available with iPhones modified to be sold in Japan. I am not sure if this works with iPod touch, either.

i have a problem, when i go to settings > general > keyboard > international keybard > add new keyboard I DON'T FIND EMOJI under the list

[jp10IamMeNotU]

@person107 I'm wondering why.

I guess, you need to add Japanese keyboard, too. Then maybe Emoji will appear.

iPhone 4/iPod touch should have no difference in terms of the OS, so all users should be able to do the same thing, I think.

@TrOyGm Oh, then I did something good for him. I'm glad. You are very welcome.

@haylz27 I forgot the price of the iPhone 4 itself, but I pay at least 6,000 yen a month. It's the contract for 2 years - roughly, 5000 yen for unlimited 3G servise + 500 yen for the iPhone + some fees.

I think so. I could do it myself too.

@LenneXStorm That's good for you! After all I only wanted to tell people one way.
