Can't select emoji's on mobile?

This might be a silly question but is there any way to select from the site emoji's whilst on a mobile?

I can do it fine on a desktop but can't seem to find the option while on phone!?!?

Same goes for formatting the text with italics etc - the options are there but are greyed out??

Press the top right button in the editor to turn off preview to allow formatting.

Do you mean the icon showing a page with a turned up corner and a magnifying glass on it?

Doesn't seem to do anything when I click it?

I get the same both in Chrome and via the app!?!?

It's for the best, people that use emoji's are weird

Fair point but occasionally I feel the need to express an emotion! (like now, a winky face or grinning teeth emoji would be suitable!)

Looks like it is a Chrome issue - just loaded the website on the Samsung browser and it works fine!

try turning your phone sideways, that seems to sort out some other mobile browser quirks (like not being able to see sigs) for me

Yeah, tried this and it doesn't make any difference!

Are you sure you’re in the rich text edit mode. Tap the three dots on the right and make sure the open and close square brackets are black, not yellow.

You sir, are an absolute legend!
