Android devices come with a built-in emoticon launcher that lets you easily add and remove emoticons from your text messages. However, some people find the default launchers to be too cluttered and difficult to use. So, here are three easy tips on how to turn off Android emoticons:

  1. Open the Settings app and scroll down to the bottom of the screen. There you will find a section called “Emoticons.” Under this section, you will find a list of all the emoticons that are installed on your device. To turn off any of these emoticons, just select them from this list and press the “Disable” button next to them.
  2. If you have an Android phone that is running Android 4.4 or later, you can also try using a third-party launcher such as Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. These launchers do not come with an emoticon launcher but they do offer other features that may be helpful for people who want to disable Android emoticons. For example, both Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher offer custom folders in which you can place your emojis so they are more easily accessible.
  3. Finally, if you still find it difficult to disable Android emoticons using the methods listed above, then you can try using a computer program such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to disable Android emojis altogether.
