Cant recieve emojis from android user

My friend has downloaded an iphone emoji keyboard off of his android phone. When he sends them to me, all I recieve are numbers and symbols. He recieves my emojis that I send to him just fine, but when he sends them to me it doesnt work. Is there something I can download that will allow me to see his emojis?

No. The iPhone deals in standards compliant emojis that are built-in to the OS. Apparently the Android device doesn't.
Your friend will have to find a better emoji keyboard app that deals in standards compliant emojis, or he should contact the developer of the app for assistance.
There's nothing wrong with your iPhone or anything that needs adjusting on it. The problem is with your friends Android device which do not have native support for standards compliant emoji.

    i recently got a galaxy but used to have an iphone 4 but now i cant receive text messages from iphone users, the messages are still coming in as imessages.

    You can try resetting the password for the Apple ID you were using for iMessage by going to https://iforgot.apple.com/.  If that doesn't work, you'll have to contacct Apple support for assistance.

  • I just got an iphone 6 plus and I cant receive texts from android or nokia users??

    I just got an iphone 6 plus and I cant receive texts from android or nokia users??
    I previously had a iphone 4s and iphone 5. Set up my phone as a brand new phone and I cant receive any texts from any of my friends that have android or nokia users and cant receive pictures from them also. Its very frustrating...does anyone have any fixes of solutions to this???

    SMS is a carrier feature. Start by contacting your carrier and making sure your account is properly configured. Even if it was before, sometimes changing phones causes glitches.

  • Switched ot andriod now cannot recieve text from iphones users what should i do

    i cannot recieve test from iphone users it still tries to send as a imessage from there phone even tho i no longer have iphone

    The problem may be that on the other users phones if your contact is associated with an email address that could have been used for iMessage, that that is what it's trying to send to.
    If that's not the case I'm not exactly sure.  They may also try erasing your contact and putting it back in their phone.  That way it would be a new contact unassociated with an iPhone.
    Other then that, you may cosult some Android forums...

  • Missing occasional texts to and from android users

    I Have discovered that one android user has not been receiving some of my texts. About 2/5 will say sent but will never arrive to recipient. I tested varying lengths of texts and content (emojis, pictures) and could not find any discernible pattern.
          Then I discovered that occasionally texts from a different android user would say sent from their phone, but never arrive at mine.
    I do not have iMessage turned, recently or currently, nor did either of the android users have iMessage turned on on any previous phones.
    AS far as I know, there are only two phones I'm having issues communicating with, but it is very hard to determine whether myself or other are NOT receiving texts for obvious reasons.
    THis his problem does seem to have only begun when I updated my operating system to 8.1.3.
    Someone please help me, this is getting really confusing. I've tried searching both Apple and android forums and habe not found any solutions yet.
    Thank you in advance.

    Another option to try for thses sorts of issues is a Reset.
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • IOS & iPhone new features questions from Android user

    Hi there. I have heard good things about the new iOS 8.3 and iPhone 6 but find certain aspects restrictive . I'm an Android user for five years running and would like to explore more on the issue / owning an iPhone by focussing on things that matter to me on my day to day use of a phone:
    1. Is there a custom equaliser setting that one can set via the iPhone or iPad itself without setting it on iTunes?
    2. Sharing photos
    I have downloaded Dropbox, signed-in, set sharing to Photos enabled and yet it doesn't show when i want to share/forward my photos. Would this sound like a bug or incompatibility with iOS?
    3. Any new battery saving option (like Android) on iOS 8.3?
    4. Any further improvements in terms of support for 3rd-party sharing & saving options like for instance in Shazam and Evernote?
    5. I have a Chromecast and i would like to cast/stream my files so i can listen to my TV. Is there any app to do that?
    6. Is there a way to save an entire article (news or a tech article) from Safari or a third-party app to another app such as Evernote or Notepad? (for reading later)
    Any comments are much appreciated. Many thanks.

    Have you enabled Camera Upload in Dropbox's Settings?

    You can tap on the Activities icon (box with an arrow pointing up and out), tap on the More item on the bottom row (scroll to right if needed) and enable Convert to PDF. Then it can be opened in iBooks, the official PDF reader amongst other things, or install the latest Acrobat DC instead. If the article is already in PDF format, you'll find a Send To… item amongst the allowed activities.
    BTW, have you downloaded or read online the full iPhone manual?

  • Factory unlocked iPhone4S on Tmobile cant receive emoji from ATT

    My factory unlocked iPhone 4S on T-Mobile cant receive Emoji icons from an ATT iPhone. Instead I see a bunch of weird symbols, but the ATT iPhone can receive emoji's from my phone. Also some of my friends have a verizon iPhone and I can receive their Emoji icons, and they can receive mine. At one point I was able to receive emoji icons from ATT iPhones. Is this a problem on ATT's network or T-Mobile's ? any help would be greatly appreciated !

    You are using an iPhone on a non-supported network. A number of items supported with an iPhone on AT&T's network are not supported with an iPhone under T-Mobile's network regardless if this worked previously.

  • Not recieving texts from Iphone users

    Just signed up with Verizon and got my new LG G2 but I'm unable to receive or send messages to IPhone users. I've already tried downloading the Verizon messages app and done a factory reset on my phone. Not sure what else to try here. I've never owned an IPhone so the deregister of Imessage does no good. Any Ideas??

    Is this your first cell phone ever? If not, were you able to receive texts from iPhone users on your previous cell phone(s)?
    Have you inquired with your contacts what color of bubble is around the text messages they are sending you? If it is blue, they are attempting to send it as an iMessage and think your phone is an iPhone. If it is green, they are attempting to send it as a text.
    As Snn5 has stated, there is a setting in iMessages which much be turned on to send messages as SMS/MMS if iMessage is unavailable. It is possible that this is not set such that a SMS/MMS can be sent.
    Do you not receive texts from ANY iPhones or do messages from some iPhones get thru?

  • Picture messages from android user

    Several times I have received a picture message from an andriod user saying:
    <Share image via GO SMS> then a link
    after trying to open the link, it doesn't work. I've googled and googled trying to figure out why I am unable to open this message, or why they are coming in as links instead of pictures, but I cannot find any answers.
    Anyone know the answer to this?

    ^ This.  This is what happens when a person wants to spam you. This is what happens when you block someone, and they still know how to add you to a group. And once you're added to that group, they can spam you from that group. This is what happens when Skype doesn't block incoming messages from blocked users in groups.
    ... There's more, by the way. It's not as short as that. I've got months worth of logs of this, spamming me from different groups, and endlessly just creating new groups and adding me and messaging me then disbanding only to create anew. My "Recent" tab doesn't work anymore, as there's constant harrassment, and as much as I "block", the spam continues in groups. Well #@^& done, Skype; it's like "Blocked" doesn't even exist. I would seriously like to see a change or two to the application's Group functions to stop people like this. Each of them has been warned that police will soon be involved for harrassment, but it doesn't seem Skype wants to make a change to stop it...
