How to enable the emoji keyboard on your Samsung
The Samsung emoji keyboard has an emoji function as standard. Emoji are fully contained in it, they can be easily found and easily inserted in the text. Therefore most often there is no need to install a third party keyboard on the smartphone unless for some reason an application from other developers is more convenient for the user.
The emoji keyboard for Galaxy is located next to the text field on the left (emoji key). When you click on it, a panel appears divided into blocks. Each category of pictures is collected on its own page. By swiping the screen you can navigate between the blocks to select the appropriate emoji.
The program remembers the emoji that a person uses most often, and offers them first in a separate category - in the tab with the clock. This is convenient when the user often selects only a few of his favorite emoji and does not have to search every time in a long list of emoji.
