How to receive emojis from Android phone

When I receive texts with emojis from a Samsung phone, the emojis show up as question marks. Is there a setting I can change to fix this? What is the solution so I can see the emojis? Thanks!

It would depend on what the Android user is sending the emoji with. If it is a standard Unicode emoji, you should be able to receive it, but if they are using some type of proprietary keyboard or font, then you will not receive it.

The only thing you can do yourself is to make sure you are running the latest version of iOS. The number of Unicode emoji is steading increasing and support for new ones requires iOS updating.
