Use emoticons in a message

To include an emoticon in a text, multimedia or IM message, type a keyboard character combination for that emoticon. Most emoticons can be created by more than one combination. After you send the message, the emoticon image appears in the conversation on your smartphone and on the recipient's smartphone, as long as the receiving IM application supports the image.

This table shows the emoticons that are supported on your smartphone.

NOTE Emoticon combinations that use words, such as :cool or :cry, are not supported in most messaging applications. Emoticons created using these combinations may not appear correctly on the recipient's phone.
