How to get iOS 9.1 emojis on jailbroken devices powered with iOS 9.0, 9.0.1 or 9.0.2

You can now enjoy Apple's newest emojis on your jailbroken iOS device powered with iOS 9, 9.0.1 or 9.0.2, thanks to Cydia developer PoomSmart. Apple made the long list containing 150 emojis available for iPhone, and iPad users through the recently released iOS 9.1 update. These emojis are also available for Apple Watch and Mac owners via watchOS 2.0.1 and OS X El Capitan version 10.11.1.

Those who have jailbroken their iOS 9-9.0.2 device using Pangu untethered jailbreak cannot get these emojis as they will lose jailbreak updating to iOS 9.1. But using a tweak released by PoomSmart you can install the emojis, without updating to iOS 9.1. With the tweak dubbed Emoji83+, you can enable the new emoji keyboard and send to iOS devices capable of displaying them.
