Emoji Magic on iPad: Here’s How to Add Them in iPhone Apps
If you’re an iPad user who enjoys running iPhone apps, you’ve probably noticed that adding emojis has been a bit of a hassle. But that’s all about to change with iPadOS 18! Apple has finally made it easier to spice up your messages with emojis, even in iPhone apps designed for the smaller screen.
Goodbye, On-Screen Keyboard Woes
When you’re using an iPhone app on your iPad, the virtual keyboard tends to disappear when you connect an external keyboard. This can be frustrating when you want to add an emoji. But now, with iPadOS 18, everything is so much smoother.
Simply press the Control + Command + Space keys on your external keyboard, and presto! The emoji picker will appear, just as it does in regular iPad apps. No more awkward keyboard detachment or emoji-copying shenanigans.
The Power of Emojis
Emojis have become an essential part of our digital communication. They add a touch of personality, help us express emotions, and make conversations more engaging. So, it’s only fitting that iPhone apps on the iPad should have the same emoji-adding capabilities as their iPad-optimized counterparts.
Whether you’re using the Messages app to stay connected with friends, or the Instagram app to share your latest photos, you can now easily add emojis to any text field. Just remember the magic key combination: Control + Command + Space.

While the emoji enhancement is a welcome improvement, it’s just one of many new features coming to iPadOS 18. This major update also includes:
- Customizable Home Screen: Create a truly personalized home screen with widgets, app icons, and wallpapers that reflect your style.
