Re: How do i add emoji next to contact

As a general rule, Android phone makers do not allow emojis in the name of contacts, while Apple lets iPhones do it.

Which phone?
Which version of android?
Which carrier?
 
Re: Long name setting

Welcome to Android Central! I don't believe Android allows emojis to be part of a contact name. As far as only being able to enter 5 letters -- have you set your phone's screen to be magnified through the Accessibility settings?

Why is my phone refusing to save contacts with emojis

I can use emojis everywhere but when it comes to saving contacts I cant use emojis. It reflects that ' name is too long'
 
Re: Why is my phone refusing to save contacts with emojis

Probably because no one has an emoji as their name, so no reason for developers to account for it.

Re: Why can't i save my contacts with emojis

I was going to say that android does not allow emojis in the contact names, but that seems to have changed at some point in time, at least for my LG V60 running android 12.

Which phone?
Which version of android?
Which carrier?
Using the factory contacts app?

Without the emojis, it works correctly?
