Emoji appears with typing dots

Hillgrit,

Thanks for getting back to us. This expected behavior if a recipient is composing a message and decides to stop typing or not send the message in iMessage. There's also a chance of a delay when viewing the typing dots and then for the user to receive the message.

Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Cheers!
