I just got a Samsung S5 the other day. I was so happy to have it until I found out when my friend texted me I couldn't see the new updated emoji from iPhone. I'm not planning on rooting it because I JUST got the damn thing and I don't know what I'm doing. Are there any plans for Samsung to update the emoji list or is that wishful thinking?
