Anyone got this? A bug causes any emojis I send to be giant for no apparent reason, but normal other times. Ones received don't have this issue, and none of my contacts seem to see them as giant. It's annoying
Got a tip for us?

Messages bug--giant emojis at random (contacts don't see them as huge)

they are intentionally large. If you send a message with just a couple of emoji, they are large so you can see them (on both ends). If you send an emoji As part of a larger text message, they are normal size.
Is there a way to make them small all the time? It is driving me nuts. My iPhone doesn't behave that way. I sure hope they don't show up giant on the other end. My contacts say they look normal but they're on Androids. Doesn't matter if I send one or two or five. They're randomly giant
Yes, your iphone should be behaving the same way.
Since android phones don’t run the messages.app, they display them all as normal letter-sized. But if the recipient is using iPhone or an ipad or mac they will see the large emoji. It’s a feature, not a bug.
Well it's inconsistent and annoying. Is there any way to make it consistently small? Perhaps I will just use old fashioned emoticons. Unless it just turns them into emoji like my Galaxy Note 2 did
Nope. It’s just the way it works. So that it’s easy to see the emoji when all you are sending is emoji. http://www.iphonehacks.com/2016/08/how-to-send-3x-bigger-emojis-ios-10.html
I can see them fine. but it's visually jarring when they randomly go giant. Looks like I got some kind of weird DPI bug. I guess I'm used to them staying small all the time. I'll just add periods to any text I send with them and maybe it'll fix it.
And yes, this is only an issue with my Mac. Not my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Only seems to happen with messages I send from my Mac. The messages I send from my Mac will also be giant-sized on my other devices but not ones I sent from those specific devices themselves.

Unless you are running a version of iOS older than 10, you should be seeing the same thing on all of your device.
I swear it only seems to be super huge on the Mac. Maybe it's scaled differently on the other devices but at least it appears uniform. On the Mac it's super huge vs. super small. It's visually jarring.
On my iPhone all emoji look like the screenshot of the iPhone ^.

That iphone screenshot shows that the emoji are oversized. To see the difference, type a sentence and put an emoji in it. You will see that the emoji is much smaller In the sentence.
Well I'm a creature of habit and I've used emoji since the Galaxy S3 was new. All the emoji were uniform in size. They weren't hard to see then either. I just like consistency.
I remember asking the same thing a year or two ago, and nobody could advise any settings then either. Emoji are fundamentally a stylised form of text, and the system "shouldn't" randomly change font size just because you're using particular characters.
I guess the best analogy for my issue is that if this were fonts, imagine if my texts randomly turned to comic sans every so often.
I wonder if simple emoticons would get turned into emojis? I'd be happy to never use emoji again and just go to emoticons. But the aforementioned Galaxy S3 would turn any emoticon into its own variant of emoji, such as "<3" translating into a little android head with hearts for eyes.
