Posted by Badri Tek on 07:58 with No comments
Emoticons are quite popular among iOS users and Apple values this fact. In fact Apple is so sincere about the Emoji feature that it has added a full functional keyboard for the same. Users who often use Emoji must be knowing about the very keyboard, whereas people who hardly use it are not even bothered to look into the keyboard settings.
What is strange for us is the fact that despite valuing Emoji so much, Apple does not provide any indication on the stock keyboard so that new users come to know about the dedicated Emoji keyboard. If one is unfamiliar with the Emoji keyboard feature he or she would hardly come across it. But now you can try Emoji without even looking into the Keyboard settings.
We are talking about QuickEmoji, which a free tweak available on Cydia. The function of this tweak is that it adds the Emoji keys to the stock iPhone keyboard, avoiding the need to switch between Emoji and standard keyboard. There are no options to configure nor will there be any icon after the tweak is installed on your device.
After you have installed the tweak and respring your device, the Emoji buttons will be added to the keyboard. Now to take a look at these buttons or use them, open the keyboard (in Messages), switch to number mode by tapping on 123 button present on the left bottom corner. The numeric keyboard will appear and now you need to tap on #+= button. Do so and the Emoji buttons will appear.
In short you need to open the same section of the keyboard from where you add special characters like $, +, =, % etc.
Although the tweak is not even close to the vast base of characters provided by the built-in Emoji keyboard in the iOS, it does offer some quick access for users who often use Emoji. Users who will be using this tweak for the first time and like the Emoji feature, should definitely try the stock Emoji keyboard. To enable the same navigate to General > Keyboard > International Keyboards > Add New Keyboard > Emoji.
The tweak is definitely going to be useful for you and the fact that it is for free, makes it even more appealing. Do try it.
