Question :

When I am typing messages in Whatsapp I sometimes want to include emoji like the flag of my country… so I open the emoji list and I get overwhelmed by the number of flags available, so I pick the flag that looks like the one I want, only to find out after posting that it turend out to be the flag of another country… quite embarrassing honestly…

I live in The Netherlands, so this happens quite often, since our Dutch flag is nearly identical to the Luxembourg flag and in tiny emoji size is easily mixed up with the flags of Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Egypt…

Is there any way to always pick the correct flag ?

Answer :

Yes, there is, and it’s rather simple… just do this :
– if Whatsapp is open, make sure the regular typing filed is available and the keyboard is visible
– then just typ the name of the country you want in full (with or without a starting capital)
– now in the text correction suggestions bar just below the typing field, the correct flag will turn up as a suggestion on the right
– just click on that to insert it into your message

That’s it !

enjoy 😉
