Advice

Since emojis are supported by the system, the recipient may not be able to see the emoji you send. For example, if you send a symbol in the latest Unicode version to a device that doesn’t support this version, other people only see a blank box.
Many messaging apps have their own emojis that are only visible within the app. Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, Hangouts, Snapchat, and more have emoji built-in, allowing you to see emojis that your device doesn’t normally support.
Android only supports viewing emoji from version 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and color emoji only from version 4.4 (KitKat) and above. Older Android versions cannot view emojis.
The display and number of emojis supported depends entirely on the Android version you are using. Emoji are a system-level font and need support to be able to view and use them.
Check for software system updates to see more emojis on your Android device. See how to update Android for more details.
