The latest 2.2 firmware update allows Japanese iPhone owners to use Emoji icons in their emails and text messages, but for some reason, the rest of the world cannot enjoy these useless, yet funny icons…
That was until developer Steve Troughton-Smith found a simple hack to allow everyone to use Emoji icons, no matter what carrier you’re on. Here are the instructions:
Apparently, You need to edit the file /User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preferences.plist on the device -> whether you use a jailbreak to achieve this or merely some iTunes backup editor is up to you.
Then, add the following boolean key as ‘true’: KeyboardEmojiEverywhere
Then head over to the Keyboards section of the Settings app, hit Japanese, and turn on Emoji. Will work for any text field/view in the OS, including on websites, including the titles of items on SpringBoard (e.g. if you save a bookmark to the home screen). Sounds simple enough.
