If your smartphone manufacturer has stopped publishing OS updates for your smartphone, you can try using a third-party keyboard to access the latest emojis.
Use a third-party keyboard
You can also use a third-party keyboard like Microsoft Swift Key and Fleksy if the native keyboard on your smartphone does not show new emojis. These apps have tons of emojis that are constantly updated and can be used across several apps. Simply install them to your phone from the Google Play Store and use them as your default on-screen keyboard. Go to Settings>General Management>Keyboard list and default to set your preferred third-party keyboard as the default keyboard.
