The first step is to know if your Sony Xperia XA2 can write and read emojis.
Our other articles on Sony Xperia XA2 can help you.
This is normally the case, but a small check never hurts.
To do this, just type ‘Emoji’ or ‘Emojis’ into Google.
No matter the browser you’re using at this point.
If you see lots of small figurines in the search results, then your Sony Xperia XA2 is well capable of reading emojis.
If this is not the case, then your smartphone is not set to play them. We invite you to download third-party applications such as WhatsApp or Viber so you can play with emojis.
However, in this case only these applications will be able to read the emojis: emojis set in classic messages can not be read for instance.

The iWnn IME feature is a graphical keyboard, normally installed on your Sony Xperia XA2. Indeed, if you have regularly updated your Sony Xperia XA2 system, then you should have access to it.

To do this, you can go to the Play Store of your Sony Xperia XA2. You can then type and search ‘Emoji Keyboard’ to find all the right applications.
Especially, look at the reviews and ratings of these different applications before downloading them. In case of doubt, we strongly recommend you to go through an expert who will be able to use the emojis on your Sony Xperia XA2.
