I mean that anything before the latest iPhone (with my mom now has)except the iPhone X (maybe?) had the play button right in the middle of the imoticons that can have a voice, from what I understand if a person who has an XS send an emoticon that was able to have a voice from the user, the play button isn't there or its very small on the bottom corner.
Basically, what I am saying is that if she sends me one of the new emoticons that can have a voice it is sent to me as a video with the play button in the middle of the emoticon. If I understand right, emoticons sent to her are either activated by touch or the play button is small and on the corner either in the left hand or right hand side. Can I alter mine to be in the left hand or right hand side or even set it up so all I had to do was press the emoitcon?
