You have certainly already received a text message or a Facebook message containing a pictogram in the shape of a little man, a smile and even sometimes animals. With the rise of the internet and messaging applications, these drawings called emojis or emoticons have gradually supplanted the good old smileys and their little round heads.

  • Click on the Settings icon on the home screen of your iPhone
  • Then select the General section then Keyboard image
  • Press the Add Keyboard button image
