How to View iPhone Emojis on Android

Everyone loves emojis! Emojis add meaning to messages. But did you know that different phone manufacturers use different versions of emojis? The emoji on your device may look different on the person sending it.

Emoji are standardized. What looks like a smiley face on one device will look like a smiley face on another. However, you can never know exactly what an emoji will look like on another device. Even a slight change in facial expression can evoke a different desired emotional response. And with emoji, this difference can lead to misunderstandings.

If you have an Android phone and want to make sure a message you send to an iPhone friend will appear as intended, you should use iPhone emoji.

There are different ways to view iPhone emojis on Android phones. Many of them require rooting your phone. However, you can still do this without rooting your Android phone .

Install and use APK Emoji Font 3

First, you need to note that Emoji Font 3 is not an official application that you can find in the Google Play Store. Before downloading this application, you will need to open the phone's settings menu and enable the Unknown Sources option . Refer to the article What is an APK file? How to download and install APK files? if you don't know how to install it.

Once you have successfully downloaded and installed Emoji Font 3 on your phone, navigate to Settings -> Display -> Font . Select the iOS Emoji font from the list that appears. This setup step will be slightly different depending on the Android version, but basically it is probably in the Display settings of the device.

You will now be able to open your iPhone emoji from the keyboard by tapping the icon at the bottom of the keyboard.

Overall, this is an alternative method for you to import iOS fonts right on your Android phone without having to root your device. At the same time, it is also the best way for you to view iPhone emojis on your Android phone without having to deeply intervene in the system.

However, it's also worth noting that Emoji Font 3 may not be fully compatible with all versions of Android. Also, the app will work best if you have Gboard installed, although it should work with other keyboard apps as well.

Use the same chat app or keyboard app

If an iPhone user sends you emojis, but all you see on your Android phone's screen are error characters like question marks or squares, it's likely that your operating system is out of date and/or supports Unicode differently. Unicode helps translate emojis (and some other data) between different systems.

An easy way to avoid this problem is to make sure that you and the iPhone user are both using the same chat app or keyboard app. If you are both using the same version of the app, you should have no problem seeing each other's emojis, even if one person is using iOS and the other is using Android.

For example, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are extremely popular online messaging apps for both iOS and Android users. If you are concerned about privacy or don’t want to be associated with Facebook, you can refer to safer alternatives such as Telegram, Signal, Viber…

However, older Android systems, primarily Android 6.0 and earlier, may not support the new emojis. You may still run into problems even if someone sends you a newer Android emoji.

Use a keyboard app that supports iPhone emoji

The final method is to use a keyboard app that supports the same emojis on the iPhone. This will not only allow you to view iPhone emojis on your Android device, but will also allow you to send compatible emojis to an iPhone user. This will work best if both people are using the same keyboard app.

This method sometimes doesn't give you the exact same emojis as on iOS, but it's basically pretty similar.

Some of the most commonly used keyboard applications today include:
