Samsung

Samsung devices run on the Android operating system, but the company uses its own exclusive set of emojis, which differ from Google's standard emojis. The development of Samsung's proprietary emoji set began in 2010, and the first versions of these emojis appeared on Samsung Galaxy and Galaxy Note devices. Samsung's custom emojis stand out due to their unique style and design, allowing the company to create a recognizable visual language for its users.

However, it's worth noting that many popular apps, such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter, on Samsung and other Android smartphones use their own emoji sets, separate from the system ones. This means that when you use these apps, the emojis displayed are those designed specifically for each platform, rather than the system emojis from Samsung or Google. This approach ensures consistency and recognizability of emojis within each app, regardless of the user's device.

Samsung emoji: what to know

My phone shows a different picture than this page
The set here comes from the newest Samsung build we have on file. Older phones keep the drawings they shipped with, so open the matching version from the list below.

When do new emoji reach my device?
They travel with the system update, not with the app you type in. A character approved by Unicode this year usually lands on phones over the following one or two releases.

Can I take these pictures to another device?
Copy the emoji and it travels fine — the drawing does not. Paste it anywhere outside Samsung and the local font redraws it.
