Adding October 2012, 11th : Add Emoji Icons to Your Default iOS Keyboard
since iOS 5 you don’t need Emoji applications
just add Emoji keyboard in Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards
That´s great, thanks Ffreezy
Thank you so much for this information! That’s so cool!
Thank you so much!!! I didn’t know that. It’s work well on my iPad. Thanks!
As far as I was aware you haven’t needed to download an emoji app since ios4.1 was released… It now just comes bundled in with the languages

I followed the instructions above and I can’t get the emoticon next to my username, I keep getting an error message. When I add the emoticon to my user name I press submit and the message comes up: Oops, looks like there’s something wrong with the information you enterd. Correct the form before submitting again.
under my user name the error message says: your username must contain only letters, numnbers and underscores. So, I’m not sure how to get this to work on my iPhone 4s. Any suggestions. HELP…. I like the cute emoticons. I’d like to add one to my username.
Hi, it’s saying that to me aswell.
Yeah me too. It says only letters, numbers and underscores :/
You cant add emoticons onto your username. you can only put them in your bio and comments

I personally feel that this is a bit “overdone” anyway – it makes Instagram look a bit childlike IMO additional More Instagram Likes
what about android phones help??????
Philippe, how can I do it for an android? I like those android emoticons
Hey!!! I cannot wait to read more of this. I mean, you just know so much about this. So much of it Ive never even thought of. You sure did put a new twist on something that Ive heard so much about. I dont believe Ive actually read anything that does this subject as good justice as you just did.
If you want those emoticons on your phone(iphone,android,apple products, etc.)
Dowload the “emoji app” & then go to settings for keyboards and set it to emoji.
& those emoticons are yours <3 ( :
