Today, we’ll be taking a look at a problem that some users on both iOS and Android are having which makes them ask “Why do my emojis keep resetting?” We are going to be going over the solution and some of the most frequently asked questions about the subject.
Why do my emojis keep resetting?
If you are having trouble with your emojis where the ones that you use frequently resets after some time, that can be really frustrating. You might be trying to answer a coworker with a thumbs up or send a laughing emoji to your friend who sent you a funny GIF. Finding the right emoji for the circumstance is a hassle if your phone doesn’t keep your frequently used emojis saved.
On iOS
There are a number of users that asked why do my emojis keep resetting on the official forums of Apple. We’ve gone over them and how Apple suggests that you fix this issue. The first course of action should be to restart the app that you are currently using to send the emoji. Sometimes there can be a bug in the app that is causing the issue. If that doesn’t resolve the problem, updating the problematic app can solve your issue.
If that doesn’t work and you are left still wondering why do my emojis keep resetting, we suggest that you restart your device. Sometimes a restart can solve many minor issues such as this one. If you are not lucky with the fix and can’t fix it with the methods mentioned above, you can try to update your phone’s operating system. If your phone is not up to date, you might be missing the fixes and features that Apple is offering with their later releases of iOS.
If all else fails, you can factory reset your device after making a backup. If you reset it to factory settings and the problem is fixed, we suggest that you transfer your backup partially (just pictures, videos, music, documents, etc.) and don’t install the apps from the backup, so the fix is permanent. This does mean that you might lose some of your data, such as your chats in WhatsApp. In the rare cases where the issue is not resolved with any of the fixes we have mentioned above, it is a good idea to contact Apple Support, so they can help you with the issue.
On Android
Unsurprisingly, restarting the app that you are using is a valid solution to the problem here too. If that doesn’t work, like on iOS, you might want to try updating the app that is causing the issue, restarting your device, and updating the device altogether. But if you are still left wondering why do my emojis keep resetting after all these attempts at fixing it, you might want to make a backup of your files and reset your phone to the factory settings to see if that makes a difference. If all else fails, make sure to contact Android Help for a fix.
