Why write, "I found your
text message amusing," when you can send an image of a laughing smiley
face? Why write, "Please remember to pick up an eggplant," when you
can just send an image of an eggplant? And why write, "Our civilization's
current overuse of natural resources bears striking parallels to that of the
Rapa Nui people before their society's collapse," when you can just send
an image of one of those Easter Island statues?
Because you don't have emojis
installed on your iPhone keyboard, that's why . To correct this dreadful state
of affairs , tap Settings > General > International > Keyboards. Then
tap "Add New Keyboard" and select "Emoji."
You'll now see a globe icon to
the right of the "123" icon on your keyboard. Tap it to access your
emoji keyboard, and you'll be introduced to a vastly more efficient form of
communication.
The iPhone comes with a
whole set of icons. (Screenshot)
