Hey, unfortunately this is well known issue. Emojis from newer unicode releases won't be displayed correctly on older iOS and Android systems.

There's no much we can do about it for the iOS. If the screen are from your users you may ask them to update their iOS to the newest possible version (probably even iPhone 6 should handle all our emojis).

On the Android the problem is much bigger because of shorter device support. I will soon publish the package that will fix it. I'll let you know when it will be available on NPM.

Hi @mateki0 thanks for the update!! Is it possible to filter by these emojis that cannot be seen on all devices? To not show the X's and question marks

Probably it is possible from native side but I'm not sure how iOS handle this. However it will be probably easier to find out a way to support them all rather than filtering out :)
