Question

What if I don't get the emojis?

Community Answer

It depends on the type of phone you have. if you have an older phone, chances are that you have stopped receiving software updates from Apple. If you have a newer phone, check for an update and update your phone. If you updated your phone and saw no changes, chances are the update failed and you will have to redo it.

Question

I have an iPhone 5 that is fully updated, but sometimes when my friends send me an emoji it appears as a question mark. What should I do?

Community Answer

The iPhone 5 is an older model, and what may be a fully updated phone for you might not include the newest emojis on the newer phones.

It should. I have an iPhone 6 and these strategies work for me. I have the newest emojis. Try it and see if it works.

Question

Does the Emoji update delete anything on my iPhone?

Community Answer

No, it only adds to your iPhone. If anything is deleted, check your recently deleted file and get them back.

It could be a glitch. Try restarting the phone. However, there could just be no update.

Question

Why does it show me a box and a question mark?

G-Bros

Community Answer

It might be that you can’t load the emoji. It is a Unicode symbol for glitched symbols.

Question

Will the iOS 16.4 update bring new emojis to my iPhone 8?

StrangelyQuiet

Top Answerer

Yes, an iPhone 8 can be updated to iOS 16.4, though not to iOS 17 due to hardware limitations. You should be able to access the 21 new emojis from the 16.4 update.
