Sms converts to mms on my huawei mate 9 pro

[Android Central Question]

Hello

I have a problem with my phone which has started to convert my sms messages into mms, it has not done this before. My phone is a huawei mate 9 pro, it either happens when i write a longer sms or uses emoji, is there a fix for this?

Sincerely
Christian

NO, that is normal behaviour

If there is, it's in the settings in the SMS app. Set it to allow breaking up long texts. (Nothing you can do about emojis - pictures can't be sent by SMS, they have to go by MMS.) The choice for a text over 140 octets (160 ASCII characters or 80 Unicode characters) is either individual 140 octet "parts" (which the receiver's app should be able to re-assemble into a single text) or MMS. A single SMS can't be longer than 140 octets.
