My iPad is 2017. I have no emojis. I can’t send a messag from Facebook. The name won’t transfer

Hello Blw51bl,

Thanks for connecting with Apple Support Communities.

We see that you were reviewing the article, "Use emoji on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch."

By chance, did you complete the following steps to add emoji keyboard on your iPad:

"Don't see the emoji keyboard?

If you don't see the emoji keyboard, make sure that it's added.

1. Go to Settings > General and tap Keyboard.
2. Tap Keyboards, then tap Add New Keyboard.
3. Tap Emoji."

If the issue persists, the following steps may be able to help resolve the issue:

1. Restart your iPad. This may seem like a simple step to take but can often resolve several issues.

2. Update iPadOS. Completing this step ensures that your device has the latest fixes. (Secure your data with a backup)

If you continue to experience the same behavior with Facebook, we suggest that you reach out to the deliver using the steps:

"Contact the developer of an iOS, iPadOS, or watchOS app

1. Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Search for the app, then tap it. If you can't find it, tap the account button  or your photo at the top of the screen, tap Purchased, tap "Not on this [device]," then tap the app.
3. The app's product page appears. Scroll to the Ratings & Reviews section, then tap App Support. If you don't see App Support, make sure that you're signed in with the correct Apple ID."
