Add emoji to keyboard

[Kerry29]

How do I get Emojis on my texting keyboard.?

[WirelessWonkFL]

I had the same question - it was baffling me!  Then I saw it:

Once the keypad is activated and cursor is in the Write message field, just press and hold the Return/New Line key ⏎ at the bottom right of the screen.  (Using the stock messaging app, on the Xperia XA1, running Android 7.0)

Hi @Kerry29, welcome to the community.

@WirelessWonkFL is quite right, you should find it by long pressing the ⏎ key. 

You can also set up a dedicated emoji button if you like by going to Settings > Language & Inputs > SwiftKey Keyboard > Typing > Keys and enable the "Dedicated emoji key" option.

Let me know if you need any more help

So, why hasn't this question been marked "solved" ??

This has been bugging me foe a couple of days (new phone!) so finding this forum has been great!

Thanks again for the answer ... brilliant!
