I want to send emoji stickers – the big ones not the tiny emoji faces. Everyone in the group conversation is sending super cool memes and funny emoji stickers and I’m over here like an ancient cavewoman with :-) how can I get my Samsung S7 to send the cool stuff and not just text, gallery pix and tiny ineffective emojis?

The video sending fixes in this message for Galaxy 7 DO NOT WORK. WTH? This is an awful phone if it cannot even send videos in a text. Why isn’t it a disclosure Samsung? Social media should know about this to warn all potential customers NOT TO GET IT.

Any videos that are sent by MMS are very poor quality on the receivers end. I guess it has to be sent by e mail and not MMS.
