Emoji Picker

Emoji Picker adds a smile button next to supported text fields so you can insert emojis without leaving the page. Use it in supported areas like direct messages, post and bulk post editors, notes, quick replies, auto messages, and message templates.

Accessing Emoji Picker

1. Open a supported text area (for example, a message composer, post composer, note, or template editor).
2. Click the smile button next to the field.
3. Choose an emoji. FBuddy inserts it at your cursor position.

Emoji Picker is on by default. If a supported field does not show the smile button, open FBuddy icon > Tweaks > FBuddy Features and make sure Emoji Picker is enabled. Then reopen the composer, or refresh the page if needed.

Emoji Picker Features

Search for an emoji

1. Click the smile button next to a supported text field.
2. Type a word in Search emojis..., such as heart, fire, or smile.
3. Click an emoji from the results to insert it.

Browse by category

1. Click the smile button next to a supported text field.
2. Use the category icon row at the top of the picker to jump between emoji groups.
3. Click an emoji to add it to the text field.

Choose a skin tone

1. Click the skin tone button in the picker toolbar.
2. Select the skin tone you want to use.
3. Click an emoji that supports skin tone variations.

Your selected skin tone is remembered for future emoji choices. If an emoji has no skin tone options, it inserts its default version.

Use frequently used emojis

After you use Emoji Picker, your most-used emojis appear in the Frequently Used section. This makes common emojis faster to find without searching each time.

FBuddy keeps the top 30 most-used emojis for that browser profile, so your common picks stay easy to reach.

Where It Appears

Emoji Picker can appear next to supported text fields, including:

• Direct message inputs
• Post creation text fields
• Note text fields, including custom names
• Quick reply boxes (including notification quick replies)
• Auto Messages compose box
• User Profile notes field
• Text template editors
• Mass message composer fields
• Bulk post composer fields

Troubleshooting

• The smile button is missing: Open FBuddy icon > Tweaks > FBuddy Features and make sure Emoji Picker is enabled. Then refresh the page.
• The emoji inserts in the wrong place: Click inside the text field where you want the emoji first, then choose the emoji again.
• Search shows no results: Try a simpler word, such as heart instead of a longer phrase.
