Android Phone / Apple Keyboard

**Dominicus Saxon** · 01-23-2013, 02:56 PM

Okay, so I have an Apple 4s phone with the Emoji keyboard that has a bunch of different emoticons on it, everything from the usual collection of smiley faces to animal faces and other things. I send a text to my wife's Android phone and she gets the text just fine but instead of the emoticons she only sees empty boxes.

Is there an app or setting that will allow an Android Phone to see emoticons delivered from an Apple phone ?

What text app is she using? Stock? If so you can download any app from the play store. They will enable emoticons. Some need an add on. All free. Me personally I use chomp SMS free then they place an ad small. On it. I also use hand cent SMS emoticons add on. Go SMS is free and there are more. Just check the play store.

Yeah, just the stock that came on her samsung replenish android phone. I'll look around the play store to see if there's one that specifically says it can see emoticons that come in from an apple phone. Thanks for the tip.

No problem. A lot of SMS apps now show the icons as well as allow her to send you some.
