Perhaps everyone already knew this, but I’ve just found this out by accident.

What you do is type a word and the put a square bracket without a space. Then just type a letter and the emojis come up. See the picture.*

*may only work on iPads.

So I’m now sat in bed doing this so I can report that it works on the iPad but not the iPhone. I can’t speak for other phones.

On the app, when you open a post there's a box at the bottom with a smiley face that then opens all the emojis.
Tardis maybe not all...

Not all of them come up! The tardis isn’t on there, for one.

Oooo you’re right, I didn’t realise that!

Worked for me, surprisingly! But what good is it when nothing comes up for "cat"? 😾

That’s strange - it does it in my iPhone. I’ve just done Tardis and Bear

Remember the days not that long ago where these were the only emoticons that could be used on mumsnet and each had to be typed out with the brackets when you wanted to use it Grin

I don’t think “cat” is a mumsnet specific emoji, it’s a general phone emoji. So it won’t be summoned by [ ]
