Get iPhone Emoji no jailbreak or app required

One of the neat features in iOS 5 is the ability to shortcuts (which usually means a couple of letters) that the iPhone recognizes and inserts a longer phrase. For instance, I added “drv” as a shortcut for the phrase “I’m driving, I will call you back when my vehicle is no longe in motion“. The shortcuts have a lot of uses and quick text or email responses is but one.
You can find the settings for shortcuts by going: Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts (At the bottom of the page). Check out some pictures below to see how the iPhone shortcuts work:
