Gmail logo
Ever feel your emails and texts lack emoji sparkle? 

Wish you could send a quick "thumbs up" or "heart eyes" without resorting to dry words? 

Well, Gmail's got your back (and fingers!), both on web and mobile apps! 

Here's a Cool Tip.  Use the Gmail Reply Emoji feature.

Here's how to do it.

On Mobile App:
  • Open any email
  • Look for the dedicated emoji button depending on your device and select it.
  • Browse the emoji keyboard and choose your perfect symbol. 
  • Tap "Send," and your emoji flies away, bringing a smile to the recipient's face (hopefully!).

On the Web:
  • Open any email
  • Look for the smiley icon next to the "Reply" button. 
  • Click it to unleash the emoji magic! ✨
  • Choose your perfect emoji from the vibrant palette. Classics like smiley faces and thumbs up, or fun options like animals, food, and activities - find the symbol that captures your sentiment.
  • Hit "Reply," and your chosen emoji shines below the email thread, visible to both you and the recipient. It's a quick, fun way to acknowledge, react, or simply add a touch of lightheartedness.

Emojis bridge the gap between text and genuine emotion, fostering a more personal and engaging communication style, whether in emails or texts.

A single emoji can convey volumes, saving you time and effort over lengthy explanations.

Like any good thing, emoji overuse can lose its charm. Choose them strategically to avoid diluting their impact.

Be mindful of context. In formal situations, too many emojis might be deemed unprofessional.

So, ditch the dull and embrace the expressive! 

Gmail's Emoji Reply empowers you to communicate with clarity, personality, and a touch of fun, wherever you are.   

Enjoy!

How to Use the New Emoji in Apple's iOS 9.1

New emoji (emoticons) have come to Apple's iOS with the recent 9.1 software update.

These new emoji include a burrito, avocado, unicorn, cheese wedge and taco.

But how do you use these new emoticons?

Many people haven't even used the existing emoji.

It's a two step process.

First, you need to add the Emoji keyboard to your iPhone or iPad.  Here's how to do it.

  1. Select "Settings", then "General", then "Keyboard".
  2. Select "Keyboards".
  3. Select "Add New Keyboard"
  4. Select "Emoji". (You'll need to scroll down and it's after "Dutch")

The next step is to actually use the emoji.  Here's how.

You can use the emoji anywhere the standard keyboard can be used.  

After you've added the emoji keyboard, you can select it when the keyboard is displayed.  



For example, when sending a text message and you click in the text field, the keyboard will display.

Select the world icon to change keyboards.  

If you have more than one keyboard installed, press the world again until the emoji keyboard is shown.  

You'll see categories of emoji at the bottom, press an icon such as the smiley face to see all of the face emoticons.  or swipe left or right to cycle thru all of the emoticons.  

Select the one you want to include in your message.

Press the world icon to cycle back to your original keyboard.

That's it!  Enjoy.
