    i dont know if anybody noticed this or not, but thats a hacked iphone hes got there. if you look at the keyboard it has the globalization button which, mistake me if im wrong, is an addition that you can add to jailborken phones to support multiple keyboards including the hKeyboard keyboard, and the EMOJII icons

    but is that functionality only granted with a jailborken iPhone/iTouch or is that natively there?

    You don't need to jailbreak your iPhone to enable International Keyboards.
