# **Emoji's in SMS**

![Sue](https://ovatu.com/_ipx/s_32x32/_ipx/_/images/avatars/sue.png)Published by Sue

**App(s) Updated:**

Web app

**What does it do:**

Emojis are now fully supported in all incoming (replies) and outgoing SMS messages, including marketing and reminder SMSs. 😊

**What you need to know:**

- Previously when a customer responded with an emoji, the SMS was received blank (empty) and outgoing SMSs did not support emojis
- Emojis can be added using a computer by copying and pasting from another source, such as an emoji website. If you search online you’ll find these sites immediately
- Emojis can also be added using the web app on a device that has emojis built into the keyboard – like mobile phones and tablets
- *Please note, special characters such as emoji's unfortunately reduce your SMS character limit from 160 to 80*

**Why is this good:**

Emojis are becoming more and more popular and are a great way to insert some fun into your messages 🍾🎆💃🏻

  

**What does it look like:**

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
