Although in most cases, the same emojis are used, it happens that on Android and iOS mobiles, these they are not the same by default.
Yes, the emojis on your keyboards are one of the many differences between these operating systems. But this does not mean that we cannot have iPhone emojis on Android, all we need is the correct app and a device with an Android version lower than Android 9.
How to put iPhone emojis on an Android
The procedure to change emojis is valid only for users who have a device with a Android version less than Android 9 Pie. The reason for this is that in that version the font management was changed and the only possible way to do it would be rooting. So make sure you have an older version, otherwise none of the methods will work.
Taking into account the above, the instructions that generally apply are the following.
- Search the Google Play Store for an Apple emoji keyboard fonts app.
- Download the app and wait for it to install on your Android device.
- Go to Settings >> System >> Language and Input >> Virtual Keyboard >> Select Keyboard.
- Turn on the switch of the installed keyboard and in the pop-up window that appears on the screen press "To accept".
- Start using the keyboard with the new emojis. For this, open any application that allows writing and tap on the keyboard icon that appears in a corner of the original keyboard.
- Then select the name of the keyboard you are going to use and use it as you normally would.
Generally, these types of applications do not require you to do technical configurations special or root settings.
We should keep in mind that the new keyboard may change the font style slightly, but that doesn't mean it will damage our phone or anything like that.
