In-app emojis don't follow system emojis #5336

Closed Miepee closed 2 years ago

Miepee commented 2 years ago

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Element
  2. View an emoji in a room, or send one

Outcome

What did you expect?

The emoji should be displayed using my systems emoji font.

What happened instead?

The emoji was displayed using a hardcoded emoji font by element. Top is the emoji that Element displays, bottom is the emoji from my keyboard's emoji picker. image

thanks for raising, this is actually a feature of the emoji-compat library which aims to keep the emojis consistent across OEMs/android versions

I'm going to close this in favour of allowing switchable emoji fonts https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/issues/5039
