I have a Samsung phone and use Textra to translate emojis to/from friends using iOS.
If I want to a text to a Samsung user, I need to go to the settings for the Textra app and switch to the Samsung emoji set.
I agree with Anonymous that Textra should allow the user to specify the emoji set per conversation. This would eliminate the need to constantly change the emoji set from the Textra settings menu.
Yes, the emojis "automatically transfer" to iOS emojis when it gets to an iPhone... but the emojis that I send from a Samsung don't translate well.
