Some Android devices offer native emoji or emoticon support but what if your device doesn’t support any? What if you’re stuck with a dull keyboard with nothing but letters, special characters and symbols? If that is the case, then you might want to consider looking for a third-party solution that will allow you to use emoticons while typing on your Android tablet or phone.
How to use emoticons (emojis) when typing in Android
- On your Android device, go to Play Store then download [1] and install an app called “Emoji Keyboard Pro – Emoticons”.
- After you’ve successfully installed the app, open it.
- On the app’s welcome screen, tap “One” and then check the “EmojiKeyboard Pro” entry under “Keyboard & input methods”. Tap “OK” to confirm.

- Back on the app’s screen, tap “Two” and then choose the “EmojiKeyboard Pro” keyboard as your main input method.
