If you’re a messaging user on Android, there’s a good chance you’ve come across the option to turn off emoji support. This is done by selecting the “notifications” option in your messaging app’s settings, and then selecting “emoji.” If you’re not sure how to do this, here’s a quick guide:

  1. Open your messaging app and sign in.
  2. In the “notifications” section of your app’s settings, select “emoji.”
  3. If you’re using an older version of Android, you may need to enable Unknown Sources before doing this. If that’s not possible for you, please see our guide on how to enable Unknown Sources on Android for more information.
