One of the many new features of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, appearance of new emojis, integrated with messaging app. The famous Textra app, an alternative app for SMS sending and receiving management, has been recently updated and now includes new Marshmallow emojis.
This was already the case for those who already had their smartphones under Marshmallow, but we found that those using the latest Android update are currently rare. Note that those with an iPhone also have access to it. But theoretically, on Android, there is a very high probability that the emoji will not be recognized by your app.
Textra’s new update is a game-changer because its developers just announced via Twitter that version 3.13 has these new smileys, and this is, whether you’re using KitKat (Android 4.4) or Lollipop (Android 5.0).
However, it is not yet available on the Play Store, although it will be released soon. If you are impatient, you can always download the APK by following this. connection. Know that once this setup is complete, when you try to access different emojis, a tab will open asking if you want to have these new emoticons.
If you accept, you will be redirected to the Play Store, which will offer you to download the Textra Emoji – Twitter Style app. After downloading, new emojis will be available in your Textra app if set as your default messaging app.
The other side of the coin: Your contacts will have to follow the same procedure if they want to receive them, without this condition your message can quickly become unintelligible. Interested in new emojis?
