What would the world of texting and messaging be without emoji icons, smiley faces, animal characters and such? There are countless emoji for Android users to choose from to get a message across, as well as not get a direct message across. You can have the subtlest conversations and even difficult discussions without coming off too confrontational with the help of a few emoji icons. On the other hand, emoji icons allow us to have fun and playful conversations with friends and also flirtatious ones with a special someone ;-)

How To Install Emoji Plugins

To get these special characters up and running on your Android OS there are a few simple processes we need to go through.

  • Emoji’s plugins are sent by SMS, so you would need to first install the SMS version of the complete application on your phone.
  • For any phone that you want to send emoji icons to, the recipient would need to have the same emoji application and plugin installed, so that the emoji’s can be displayed correctly on their phone.
  • To activate the application so that all users can see your emoji, each recipient must go to the application setting on their Android, then the emoji encoding settings and choose the app.

Let’s take a look at the top choices for emoji apps for Android.
