- To check the Android version, open your phone's settings app, scroll down and tap "About" (mostly the last option) in the system settings.

How to install iPhone emoticons on Android
Now we need to launch the zFont program and on the Home tab, scroll down the page to the “Emoji” section. You don’t even have to go far there - in the TOP of popular ones we immediately find IOS14.2 emoji. We will use them.
Next, to make iPhone emoticons on your Android phone, you will need to click on the “Download” button and, after the emoji layout is downloaded, click on the “Apply” button to apply the changes. The next step will show you instructions on what to do specifically for your smartphone. I will show you for the two most popular brands now - Samsung and Xiaomi.
How to change emoticons on Xiaomi Redmi
After applying the package with IOS Emoji on your Xiaomi phone, you will see a choice of three options that allow you to put emoticons from the iPhone on your smartphone. I chose the third method, signed as Latest, that is, the most recent and current one.
Then a window popped up with further instructions, where it was written that you need to activate the theme (Apple Me) iOS14.2 in the theme manager. Which I immediately did.
Please note that in the theme manager I only left a checkmark on the “System” item, and I removed the checkboxes from the “Desktop”, “Lock Screen” and “Icons” items, since I don’t need them. I only need emojis. The phone will then require you to restart it, after which the changes will take effect.

Adding to operating systems (iOS, Android, Windows)
The addition of emoji to Unicode made it possible to use them on portable devices running on iOS and Windows mobile operating systems, and a little later on Android. Gmail has supported emoticons since 2009. On desktop versions of Apple operating systems, similar symbols appeared in version 10.7. Emoji have been available to users of the Android mobile platform since 2013. However, on smartphones and tablets, graphic symbols are displayed in different ways. It all depends on both the version of the operating system and the model of the portable device. Differences in the display of emoticons can lead to situations where users misunderstand each other.
