Hi, there. It’s wonderful to ‘see’ you! While working on my Seven Days, Seven Snaps post tonight, I stumbled across a fun little trick! You might already know about this, but I think a few of you will find it super handy. I’ve always loved seeing cute emoji’s on other blogs to show different emotions, but up until now, I was actually copying and pasting them from Google searches. Turns out, there is a much faster and easier way to open the built-in emoji menu! 🤔
iOS Menu
I will first explain how to pull up the emoji menu on a Mac using the iOS software. (I use Mac 💻)
- Open the menu: press Control key + Command key + Space bar at the same time to open the emoji & symbol menu.
- Search for the desired emoji/symbol.
- Insert the emoji. Click on the emoji you want. It will be added where the curser is blinking.
There’s a second approach to display the emoji menu. Simply click the Edit in the top tool bar. Once this opens, at the bottom select Emoji & Symbols.
Windows PC
Instructions from Google search. (Because I don’t use PC. 💻)
That’s it. It was a short, fun little tip. Hopefully, it may come in handy for you! Do you like to use emoji’s ⁉️😘
Yesterday is today’s memory.
Be sure to capture your memory today!
All the best,.

Thanks! I rarely think to use emoji’s but really didn’t know how to anymore since I switched to Firefox and emojis aren’t as readily available.
I’ve been having fun using them more on the blog 😁😂
Thanks for the Mac tip! I usually go up to my Chrome menu and pull the emoji menu down from there. This is much easier!!
I know, the searching and pasting was a hassle. I love using emoji’s now! ❤️
It took me a couple of times to get the timing right, but I finally did it! 🤣🤣

Wonderful! I know I like using those cute little emoji’s 🤪
Oh wow, I love this! thank you so much for this wonderful tip! Like you, I googled an emoticon and then copied and pasted it. This is so much easier!
Anything that makes blogging a bit more simple!!
Have a wonderful weekend.
All the best.
I appreciate the shortcut for Mac users—Control+Command+Space is much faster than copying from a search. For Windows, I think the Win+Period key combo works similarly, which might be a handy addition. Thanks for sharing this practical tip for everyday blogging.
You are welcome and thank you for the added Windows tip!
All the best.
