Question

Can I use an emoji to highlight an event in my calendar? Sometimes I can get it to work, but most of the time I can't. What can I do?

Community Answer

Try resetting your phone all together. Completely shut it off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on. If it doesn't work after that, contact Apple support.

Question

How can I add biscuit emojis?

Community Answer

Go into the emoji keyboard on any app that supports writing or text. There will be words or small icons along the top, bottom, or both, depending on your device. Either scroll past the sections until you get to “food and drink,” or click on the small icon of a burger and drink along the bottom. Scroll along the food until you find a biscuit you like. There's a chocolate chip emoji near the lollipop.
