SMSes don’t support emojis but instant messaging and social networking applications do support them. You won’t find any messaging application on the iTunes or Play Store that doesn’t support smileys. Although WhatsApp, Facebook, Viber, etc ship with smiley packs of their own, you can use one of the following applications if you don’t like the emojis shipped with them.
