TuT [Tutorial] How to add iOS 9.1 Emoji to a jailbroken device running iOS 8.x / 9.x

SoloTurk · October 26, 2015

The headline feature of iOS 9.1 was without a doubt the 150 new emoji characters available to emoji keyboard users. These new characters are all the rage, and rightfully so, as they bring a whole new range of emotions to the table.

The good news is that you can enable the emoji keyboard and send new emojis to devices capable of displaying them. The bad news is that the tweak is still a work in progress, and as such, the new emoji don’t display properly in all apps.

Some apps will work fine, such as Mail, but other apps, like Messages, won’t properly display the new emoji. Developer PoomSmart says that he is working on a fix for the issue, so eventually, we may have a 100% fully working iOS 9 emoji package for iOS 9.1.

In the meantime, however, this tutorial is the next best thing.

Once you respring, open the emoji keyboard, and you should see all of the new iOS 9.1 emojis.

As mentioned, while you can see the emojis and type them, they don’t always properly display on screen. Sometimes you will see a little [?] box instead.

The good news is that others who are running iOS 9.1 will be able to see your new emojis just fine,and you’ll be able to read other’s emoji’s on some places like in the Mail app, for example.

The big takeaway here is that this is still very much a work in progress.
