Help Any way to disable emojis/smileys/everything?

[The rat]

So, is there any way to COMPLETELY stop showing emojis/smileys in every single app? I'd rather see a blank square than an annoying face.

Why I want to do that? I don't know, I hate them.

Welcome to the 21st Century! I would have stuck an emoji there, but I didn't want to annoy you...

Anyway, unless there is an app out there that searches fields for emojis and disables them, I'm afraid you're as stuck with these things as the rest of us are. An enterprising app developer might be able to retire early if they came up with an app that can pre-screen incoming data, eliminate all the emojis (and just the emojis), and not significantly slow the device down in the process.

I think would need to root your device and delete the emoji fonts in system. And don't use any app that has them embedded within, e.g. Wechat.

Which is EVERYTHING. Even Google's apps have emojis, so it's either deal with them or own an expensive paperweight that you can do nothing but stare at.

He's right you know! [emoji106] <--- for information, that thumbs-up emoji is from the Tapatalk CDN server, so you'll see if it even if just using a browser to view my post.
