    I tried changing mine as shown above but it didn't work and my old one isn't working either. If I type my emojis, they just show as blanks. They only show on WhatsApp cos WhatsApp has it own. How do I get them back, plus

  2. I really appreciate the kind of topics you post here. Thanks for sharing us a great information that is actually helpful. Good day! facebook emojis
