They replicate functionality in iOS and trick countless people into spending money that they don't need to. Why does apple still allow these in the App Store? Hell, one of the apps is in the top 15.

Why are emoji apps not taken down?

Yup. Go to keyboards, and add one. Its in there.
Been in there for quite a while now, since iOS 6 at least.
It's been there for a while, the only downside is the emojis can only been seen on other Apple devices as far as I can tell.
They also show on Android if they have the right something loaded. I send and receive them just fine with my girlfriend's S4.
I'm going to assume that at least some of them have more emojis than the stock keyboard. I'm sure there are some that are trying to trick people into paying, but then again Apple's app review procedure hasn't always been stellar.
Do you have any proof of this? That's a serious question, I thought the same but could never find any.
No. That's why I started with "I'm going to assume..."
And you know what happens when one assumes.
