Emoji Support

Textra SMS supports all the latest (Unicode 15 standard) 3000+ emoji including diversity (skin tone) from Textra SMS v4.68 onwards.

We offer Android Blob, Android (Latest), Twitter, JoyPixels and iOS style emojis for all Textra SMS users irrespective of Android firmware version.

Select your preferred style from Textra > Settings > Customize Look > Emoji Style.

You access your chosen emoji style using the + icon to the left of the message field in the chat (not your keyboard).

For diversity, long press on a 'human skin emoji' (for example a hand gesture) to see diversity (skin tone color) options.

IMPORTANT: These emoji are ONLY available in Textra SMS and not system wide (so not in your keyboard app). 

Of course your friends need a smart phone and app capable of rendering the latest emojis. Emojis are a global standard but a lot of phones are not yet up to date. That's why we added them all to Textra SMS!

Tip: Long press an emoji to see it magnified.
