Wife's message w/ Emotes comes in with ASCII instead of the Emote picture

This wasn't an issue until 2 days ago. Now when my wife (T-mobile S6 edge) send a message to me (T-mobile S6 edge plus) the emote is represented in ascii on my end. I can send to her and it shows fine on her end and my end. I can send to myself and all shows fine as well.

Thoughts? We are using the stock messaging app.

Maybe she installed some app that did some changes to the system. Try with a third phone to check if the problem is from her mobile.

Just an update. I had gotten a small update a few days ago and installed it. That is when the issues started. She checked and install the update and now all looks well (or it could have been just a restart of her phone from doing the update).

Looks like this is back. I'm thinking this is the latest T-mobile patch that caused this. It almost seems one of us has to reboot to get the functionality back. Anyone else seeing an issue like this between S6/Edge/Edge+ phones?
