How to Pull Up Emojis on Mac

Are you tired of searching for emojis on your MacBook Pro? Look no further! With a few simple steps, you can access a wide range of emojis and symbols directly from your Touch Bar. In this article, we'll show you how to pull up emojis on Mac.

Step 1: Activate the Cursor

To start, click on the text input area to activate the cursor. This will ensure that the emoji icon appears in your Touch Bar automatically.

Step 2: Emoji Icon Appearance

Once the cursor is activated, a smiley face emoji icon should appear in your Touch Bar. If you're using an app that allows you to type, it's likely that you can use your MacBook Pro Touch Bar to insert emojis.

Step 3: Open System Preferences

To access the Emoji & Symbols window, open System Preferences by clicking on the Apple logo in the top left corner of your screen and selecting 'System Preferences.' From there, click on 'Language & Region' and then select 'Keyboard Preferences.'

Step 4: Show Input Menu in Menu Bar

In the Keyboard Preferences window, click on the checkbox next to 'Show input menu in menu bar.' This will allow you to access the Emoji & Symbols window from the menu bar.

And that's it! You should now be able to pull up emojis and symbols directly from your Touch Bar. Whether you're typing a message or creating content, having quick access to these characters can make all the difference.

Remember, if you're experiencing any issues with entering certain letters in a game or app, try quitting and restarting the program. In some cases, this may resolve the issue and allow you to continue using your MacBook Pro as usual.
