It doesn’t mean our device doesn’t support emojis. As there are large collections of emoji in iphone there is possibilities that some of the emoji sent from iphone may not be recognize because android don’t have that particular emoji in its collection. As a result it show square. But if you want to make sure whether you device supports emoji or not, you just open Web Browser and search for “emoji” in Google. If you see emoji on your search results it means your device supports emoji but, if you see square box instead of emoji that means your device doesn’t support emoji.
Don’t worry if your device doesn’t support emojis, you can still get them by using a third-party social messaging app such as Viber, WhatsApp, Wechat etc. But remember these are social messaging app so you will only see emojis inside the apps. Any other text/SMS that you receive will not have emoji instead it will display square.
