[emoji]

I got a text the other day from a friend with a thumbs up icon, and knowing she has an iPhone, I thought, 'How come I don't know how to do that?' A quick google investigation and then I was on my way with cute little emoji pics on my SMSs.

Here's how you do it:
On your iPhone go to Settings --> General --> Keyboard --> International --> then choose the Emoji keyboard. To toggle from your regular keyboard you just then choose the little globe icon on the bottom left hand side on the keyboard. Cute!
