Some phones from other manufacturers may be able to read them as well, but they are intended to be used for communication between different Apple products.   Step 1: Touch the Settings icon on your iPad home screen.

    Step 2: Select the General option at the left side of the screen.

    Step 3: Scroll down and touch the Keyboard button.

    Step 4: Touch the Keyboards button.

    You can switch between different emojis by touching the buttons at the bottom of the screen.
