iPhone Tip: Label Your Folders With Emoji

Label Folders With Emoji

Emoji can be used for more than just text messages. The iPhone lets you use them to label folders. Why not use an image of a hamburger to label a folder of your favorite food apps? It’s easy. Here’s how.

1. Activate emoji on the iPhone. It’s easier than ever (click here for step-by-step instructions).

2. Create a new folder, or hold your finger down on an existing one until it starts wiggling then tap the folder.

3. Tap the text area where the name of the folder goes. When the iPhone’s touchscreen keyboard comes up, switch to the emoji keyboard by tapping the globe icon until it appears. Search for an appropriate emoji and type it in.

This iPhone tip was inspired by a similar one discovered by iPhone J.D.

    This doesn’t work on my iPhone runing OS4. Under Keyboards/Japanese I have a choice of Japanese Romaji or Japanese Ten Key. Emoji is listed as a separate keyboard and even if I select it it does not activate the globe option on my keyboard.

    It may be its own option called Emoji. Activate it, then reboot the iPhone.
