Have you ever gotten a text with an emoji that seemed out-of-place? Maybe you sent a text to a friend with cheese and crackers.
The problem? Your friend would receive cheese and a cookie.
This happens a lot depending on the device you have, and emojis can appear differently on social media channels depending on the device you are using.
Social media marketers should be aware that these emojis may have a different meaning when viewed on an Apple device compared to a Samsung device.
If you send this cute little guy
from a Samsung to an Apple, the receiver will see a full on eye roll
While both of these emojis express shock, the Apple version has closed eyes
while the Samsung version is in full freak-out mode.
The “disappointed face” looks far more somber on an Apple
than a Samsung.
The “flushed face” emoji appears disappointed or sad on a Samsung
and quite shocked on an Apple.
Lastly, beware of the “face without a mouth” emoji, which can look like a pig nose!
