Hi Everyone,

I've just bought a Z5 and noticed that it don't seem to get the new emojis. I have them enabled but there the old type.

How do I get the new emojis please.

When I am using the keyboard the smiley faces available are the old horrible ones and not the nice new modern ones that I had on my Samsung S4.

@cleck

you will need a different messaging app.

Ok, a bit more info. I have spoken to my wife and when I send an emoji to her she gets the nice looking ones on her phone but when she sends them to me I get the horrible ones appear on mine.

It's as if my phone can't recognise the new kind.

I have tried 3 different messengers and they are all the same.

This suggests to me that it is a setting on my phone that is the problem. Like it can't read the code or something.

Download another keyboard from the store.

I have tried Google keyboard, Go keyboard, Swiftkey keyboard etc but the emojis are still the old type.

I get the feeling that it's just a setting on the phone that needs to be changed. If all the keyboards that I have downloaded show the same sort of emojis then surely it's a phone setting?

are you tapping the tabs? Some manufacturers use the ones Google made, or use their own. I believe Samsung uses their own, but they are always roughly 3-4 editions below what Google releases with their OS due to the fact they customize theirs.
