Galaxy Note 4 stock texting emojis stopped working. =(

[AC Question]

I'm running Lollipop.
Last night the stock emojis were there and working fine, but today when I try to open it, they won't open at all.
I'm not talking about the simple green android ones that you get from tapping the 3 dots>insert smiley. I'm talking about the ones that open when you tap the smiley face under the paperclip. There are about 100 of them....

I had this same thing happen. Did you figure out a fix?

I thought it was just my phones emojis that stopped working. I need this to be fixed ASAP!!!!!!

+1 here.... WTF???? everyone with AT&T or another carrier???

well they will still work on the stock Samsung keyboard if you take the looooooooong way in....

-Open any application where you have to compose messages, such as text messaging;
-After that, just tap the text field to open your keyboard;
-On your keyboard, find the microphone icon (it is placed to the left of the space bar);
-Press and hold the microphone icon and this will immediately open a sub menu;
-Tap the smiley face on the sub-menu and you will see the list of Emojis.

I just had the same problem on a Galaxy A3 after installing ES File Explorer. Based on this thread, I uninstalled it and the Emojis are back. Whoopie!! What a relief! Thanks heaps.

thanks for the tip. ES file explorer must have updated and caused my emojis on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to stop working too. uninstalled it and emojis working again.
