Emoji not appearing in app

51 replies

Peaceloveandhobnobs · 16/06/2015 13:59

I'm using the app on iOS 8.3 and as of today emoji aren't appearing in my posts. There's a wee gap where it should be.
Example: "Hmm"
Any ideas?

Oh good, I'd been meaning to start a thread myself. I use an iPod sometimes (I'm on my laptop at the moment) - no idea what OS but I don't think all the emojis have ever shown up. Some of the standard ones do like Smile and Grin but others don't and there's nothing at all. Not sure if that's exactly the same as what you're discussing now, I was goign to suggest that if there is some special MN smiley which isn't supported on the apps Dragon, Bear for instance maybe it could just display the word in brackets rather than nowt, as some threads really don't make sense at all without them

the only ones i can see are in cozies 21:41 and momas 21:50 Sad

ErrolTheDragon · 16/06/2015 23:02

And I can see the sad I just did from desktop.

Sad Dragon ????

ErrolTheDragon · 16/06/2015 23:06

of course usimg the sad emoji from the app rather than typing in brackets gives that weird diamond.question mark thingy on the app.

cozietoesie · 16/06/2015 23:38

Actually, I have sad faces on my version of the App in your 23.00 and 23.02, Errol. Are you on IOS 8.3?

ErrolTheDragon · 16/06/2015 23:56

I don't know - how do I find that out on an ipod?

But I think both of those were generated using brackets - 23:00 from desktop, 23:02 from ipod but it was bracketed sad, dragon and then the sadface icon. But weirdly I can see the one on 23:00 but nothing on the 23:02

cozietoesie · 17/06/2015 00:03

The mysteries of the App, eh?

cozietoesie · 17/06/2015 00:06

PS - if you go to Settings>About on the ipod, you should be able to see your software version.

DawnMumsnet · 17/06/2015 12:17

Afternoon all,

We've had another word with our Tech people and they're about to do a release which should fix this.

Hopefully we'll have all the faces back in action soon. Wink Smile Grin

cozietoesie · 17/06/2015 12:43

Thanks Dawn.

Smile
WindMeUpAndLetMeGo · 17/06/2015 12:50

Have had the same thing, and can see none on this thread (am on iPhone app)

cozietoesie · 17/06/2015 13:01

I can see 5 on the App version of the thread (including one group of 3 from Dawn) using an ipad. It beats me.

DawnMumsnet · 17/06/2015 13:23

Okay, this should be fixed now!

Can we have a mass emoji face-off now?

ErrolTheDragon · 17/06/2015 13:42

Great, all present and correct.

Thats 'standard' emojis only, of course. It'd still be nice if it was possible (and I realise it could be difficult) to display the relevant word if the dragon or whatever isn't available.

Just testing the others which are included in the smileys list on the browser, you've only done the yellow ones - obviously the full menagerie isn't supported.

ErrolTheDragon · 17/06/2015 13:48

No cake, flowers or star. I'm sure I've seen flowers on the app - maybe it's thanks? Thanks

Bear

Oh Yes they are. Wink

ErrolTheDragon · 17/06/2015 13:51

yes, 'thanks' gives the flowers but 'flowers' doesn't even though that's the one that's given in the list.

The biscuit on the app looks much less tasty than the jammie dodger, and can't be used for amusing (ok, rude) pictures.

ErrolTheDragon · 17/06/2015 13:52

No bears or dragons on my app, cozie. Sad
