Predictive text emoticons. Are these still working for the Xperia X?

E.g. Type "octo" and predictive text picks up the octopus emoticon. 

I was rolling with the z3 and this was a favourite feature, and I see it also carries over to the z5 series.

Unfortunately none of my local stores have these in yet to go play with... 

Thank you!

I just tried octo, and no emoticon.

Xperia X comes with SwiftKey now, you can just download and try it on any of your phone since now it is free.

@ykphuah@anferni You can sideload xperia keyboard and I think you will have the desired actions.

@ykphuah that's a suitable option, trialling it on another device now. cheers.

@alexdon will try this once it arrives and will come back to verify. Thanks.

Hi, can someone please help. If i use an app like Viber, Whats App or Messenger, when im typing, if i say, type the word BUS, a pic of a bus comes up and i can add these into my text yet if i just want to send a normal text, the emojis DONT show up!!!! I have tried all the buttons and cant find 1 with any emojis so now my texts are boring. I currently have the Z5.
