Emoji not showing up in received text messages on iPhone 4?
I have an iPhone 4, it is NOT jailbroken, and ever since i've had it (over a year now) i've had the Emoji keyboard installed and never had a problem with it.
Last week however, it randomly stopped working. Now it still allows me to use the key board and send texts with emoji in them, but when it comes to receiving texts with emoji, it either won't show up at all, or it'll be replaced with underscores like this: __
I've tried uninstalling and deleting the keyboard and redownloading it, and even tried restoring my phone via itunes, but still no luck!
Does anyone know how to fix this, or had similar problems? It's really frustrating and i'm not sure if its a big enough problem to take to the apple store!
Added (1). To clarify the answer below, people are receiving my emoji to their iPhones fine, but when they send them back to me my phone doesn't display them!
Try downloading some other Emoji apps from the app store and see if it works. I'm not sure but I think the Emoji on the iPhone only works on an iPhone to iPhone. Maybe the other person sending you the message with Emoji doesn't have an iPhone.
- Viewing text messages not received Is their any way i can view text messages that i did not receive. I had a iphone and when i made the switch to android i was not able to receive text messages from iphone. I now fixed the problem. But is their a way to view the text messages i did not receive.
- Text messages not received after being abroad (iPhone)? I was in Australia for three months and brought my Verizon iPhone 4 with me, although it did not work at all for calls/texts I used it as an ipod and camera. I was excited when I landed in the US to turn off airplane mode and receive a barrage of texts/voicemails but absolutely none came through. I know some where sent because people facebooked me asking why I wasn't replying. Any way I can find these text messages or are they lost for ever?
- IPhone text messages not being received? For whatever reason, 2 weeks ago my iPhone stopped receiving service. When I saw my friends they had told me they sent me multiple text messages and called many times. Long story short, I finally got my new phone and set it all up and I have service now. For whatever reason though, I'm not receiving any of the texts and I don't have any missed call notifications. Any reason for this? Will I never receive the messages sent to me these past 2 weeks while my phone wasn't working?
- IPhone Overheated-text messages received? I left my iPhone 4s in the car while it was got out, and when I got back there was a message on the screen saying that the phone overheated and I couldn't use the phone until the temperature went down. It's okay now, but I'm wondering if someone texted me during that time, would I still receive their text later?
