The emoji panel​

Tap ☺, the half key right of l, to open the emoji panel. It takes the keys' place. Along its bottom edge it has:

  • ABC to go back to letters,
  • the categories, and Recent for the emoji you use,
  • a delete key you can hold to repeat.

Emoji your phone's font can't draw are hidden, so you never pick a blank box.

Search emoji​

While the emoji panel is open, the strip above it becomes a search field. Tap Search emoji. The letter keys come back under it, and what you type is the search:

  • Type a word or its first letters, such as piz for 🍕. The emoji found fill the row beside the field. Slide the row sideways for more.
  • Type two words to narrow it down: red hea finds ❤️.
  • Tap an emoji to type it. The search stays open, so you can pick several.
  • Enter types the first emoji found. Swipe the space bar left to delete letters of the search.
  • With nothing typed, the row shows the emoji you used last.

Tap ✕ at the end of the row to go back to typing, or ☺ to go back to the panel. Search words are in English.

Skin tones​

Emoji that come in skin tones show a small mark in the corner. Hold one to pick a tone. Flikzi remembers your choice for that emoji, on your phone.

Emoji suggestions​

While you type, matching emoji appear in the strip after the first two words. After a space, the strip shows emoji for the word you finished, then likely next words. Type pizza, and 🍕 is one tap away.

Turn this off in Flikzi, Typing, Emoji suggestions. It needs Suggestions on, because the emoji show in the strip.
