It's usually incompatibility between devices sending them I'm afraid. I can post an emotional on here from my note 4 and it will not show....For example 😤

Not an android expert I'm afraid , but it sounds like you may have something missing that allows your phone to "read" the emojis properly. Unfortunately I have absolutely no clue what it is so will tag the android army to see what they say...

They probably wont be the same if they aren't being sent from another android phone?
