Just that, tried to add a witchy face or two but they're not showing up?

Mine still aren't working

@MNHQ still haven't got emojis, and can't open PMs - the blue button doesn't open the menu. Like the emoji button, it's dead.

So I took unsociable AND sarky.

(Kindle tablet, silk, mobile site and desktop.)

Same here - iPhone 8Plus 

CookPassBabtridge · 25/10/2018 12:37

Test

I can manually type in [ smile ] for Smile but if I click on the emoji button, nothing happens.

I'm emoticonless on the app on an iPad, latest version of IOS. I can see emoticons in other people's posts, but can't generate them myself either by button or using square brackets. I can see them as I'm writing the post, but not on the thread.

This should be a smile via button 

This should be a dragon  using brackets.

Testing 

purpleunicorns · 27/10/2018 01:33

Testing failed iPhone here too and I've tried reinstalling the app with no joy

SubtitlesOn · 27/10/2018 12:21

I have deleted the iPad app and gone completely back to beginning by installing it



Bet those don't show

We won't be able to use any Halloween ones cos when it is sorted it will be over

SubtitlesOn · 27/10/2018 12:22

None of them work

FortniteIsTheNewCrack · 27/10/2018 12:29

Testing 

FortniteIsTheNewCrack · 27/10/2018 12:30

Nope still not working. Lack of a grin especially is making me look even more of a grumpy twat.

SophieLMumsnet · 27/10/2018 16:03

Sorry all! The app team are still looking into this - bear with 'em. We're afraid it's not likely to be fixed over the weekend, but we've waved the flag again and hopefully there'll be an answer for you soon.

iklboogiemanunderthebed · 28/10/2018 16:56

Testing (cos the app just did an updatey thing on my phone) 

IdahoCrow · 28/10/2018 17:05

I've still not got PMs or emojis - the 'buttons' don't work. Been weeks now.

Oblomov18 · 28/10/2018 22:23

Still not working here! 😡

SubtitlesOn · 29/10/2018 00:10

Thank you Sophie

Hopefully tech team will get it sorted on Monday morning

Please I really would like to join in with Halloween ones before Wednesday

TimMumsnet · 29/10/2018 10:20

Hi guys, thanks for reporting this!

I've spent a while looking into this, and it's taking a while to get to the root of this.

It's only an issue for iOS Talk app users and I think it's connected to some changes in iOS 12 that we didn't notice until now. We'll get to the bottom of it and have a fix out ASAP. Until then, you may need to get by with the native emojis 🧙🏼‍♀️👻

Hang in there!

ErrolTheDragon · 29/10/2018 10:40

Or use the browser version if we really need to emote? Some of the MN emoticons are just much better than standard emojis - none of those quite capture the hmm or confused. And inexplicably there is no global agreement on how to depict The Bull for Archers fans.  (there should be a grin there, btw)

IdahoCrow · 29/10/2018 10:45

Hi @TimMumsnet, I still haven't got function in the two blue buttons on the top right of the screen either, that one's that are supposed to produce drop-down menus that include e.g. PMs.

Plus the emoji button is dead too (below the dialogue box).

This is on a kindle, silk browser, both mobile site and desktop. Been like it for weeks now.

CookPassBabtridge · 29/10/2018 10:48

I've updated my iphone so testing now.. 

TokyoSushi · 29/10/2018 22:59

No emojis still here, is it still being fixed, or just me?

SubtitlesOn · 30/10/2018 11:29

Thank you @TimMumsnet

Hopefully it will be fixed PDQ



Bet these don't work

SubtitlesOn · 30/10/2018 11:30

No nothing to be seen

Yet again!!!!!
