16 Fun Emoji Messaging Apps

These Playful Emoji Apps Make Messages More Expressive

— September 23, 2014 — Tech
As texters everywhere anxiously wait for the release of the over 200 new emojis from Unicode, these creative emoji apps are a fun way to infuse your messages with more meaning. For the most part, these apps choose to focus on a specific type of emoji, such as ones designed after a particular TV show, movie or fashion style.

There are a lot of strange emojis out there that you may never even use, but these icons at least give you some more options when it comes to expressing yourself via text. Rather than having to choose from a set list of emojis, the Imoji app is a particularly impressive one that lets you turn your own photos into emojis that you can send to your friends.
