Hi Eleanor, yeah that's right. But this is predictive text.Yes then it is
pressing 1 3 times and not twice as you previously said! So just ignore
the full stop and press 1 for the second time, the full stop will change to
colon and you'll get the smiley face alright. Do you see what I mean? I know
it can be confusing but predictive text works with punctuation marks as well
as words.
Cheers,
Amro
