Sadly not working for me on the talk app on my iPhone

So glad you called them emoticons. I always get laughed at for calling them this. Apparently they are emojis Hmm

[Misses the point]

Are any of these below emoticons not appearing on the iOS app? If so, I'd recommend:

  1. Quitting and reopening the app
  2. checking for updates on the App Store here.


Also, some quick definitions:
Emojis are the universal characters 😄🤩🦄 available on all operating systems from the last couple of years.
Emoticons are the MN equivalent  available only on the site.

iklboogiemanunderthebed · 21/10/2018 14:20

And again 

iklboogiemanunderthebed · 21/10/2018 14:21

Nope. Still not working. Tried updating app, logging out and in again, quitting app, hard shut down, switching off phone etc. No joy 

TimMumsnet · 21/10/2018 16:32

Weird! Ok thanks for raising this, we'll look into it.

It's actually quite spooky to have a blank post showing up, fits in with the Halloween theme 💀:)

Hi there everyone,

Sorry this is taking a while - we're still working on it, we hope to have a more detailed update soon.

Mumsnet emojis aren't working on the app for me. I'm on an iPhone5.

IdahoCrow · 24/10/2018 20:57

I haven't had working emojis or PMs for days. On a kindle, silk.
