Make Smileys on Facebook Chat

--112.201.128.67 07:51, 31 December 2016 (GMT)Emoticons, or "Smileys", can add context and emotion to your Facebook chat messages. There are a variety of Smileys built-in to Facebook chat that you can quickly add by typing the correct code. You can also download Sticker Packs, which allow you to use more emoticons that everyone can see.

Steps

Using Built-In Smileys

  1. Type the Smiley that you want to use. Facebook has a variety of built-in Smiley faces that you can quickly add to your Facebook chats by typing the correct code. These Smileys work in chats as well as comments and status updates. Note: It used to be possible to link to someone's profile image to use as a Smiley, but this feature has since been removed.
  2. Use the Emoticon button. Click the Smiley face to the right of the text entry field to open the emoticon menu. Click the Smiley tab and then choose your emoticon. Not all of the Smileys in the table above will be listed in the emoticon menu.

Adding Sticker Packs

  1. Click the Emoticon button in the text entry field. This is only present in Facebook chat and when leaving a comment on a post.
  2. Click the "+" button in the top-left corner of the emoticon menu. This will open the Sticker Store.
  3. Find a pack of stickers you want to add. Most, if not all, of the sticker packs will be free.
  4. Click the "Free" button to add the sticker pack to your account.
  5. Close the Sticker Store to return to the emoticon menu.
  6. Select your newly-added sticker pack from the row of tabs along the top.
  7. Click a sticker to send it. The sticker will be sent as soon as you click it.
