Though Android has its own emojis for texting, most Android users want to have iPhone emojis on their Android phones. Because they are not satisfied with Android’s default set of emojis.
There are many reasons behind this need. Some Android users say that they can express their emotions more accurately using iOS emojis because they are more expressive than Android emojis. Another group of users wants to have a new set of emojis on their phones because they think Android emojis are outdated as well as somewhat boring. This happens when using the same old phone for many years without upgrading the phone. So in such cases, users have to use emojis that were designed several years back, because their phones run on older versions of Android. So it’s better to have a new set of cool iPhone emojis for texting or chatting on your Android phone.
So if you love to have iPhone emojis on your Android phone, then the best option is to install an emoji app on your phone. It is easy to set up. Plus point is that no rooting is required for that.
Keep in mind; here you only can get iPhone-like emojis, not exact emojis on iPhone. If you want to get emojis that are 100% similar to the ones on the iPhone, then you have to root your Android. Magisk is a great example of an Android root app that allows you to change the font into iOS fonts on your Android phone.
Here we are going to talk about both methods, and they are pretty simple. Let’s get started.
