Feature description

Messages only consisting of emojis should be shown bigger than messages consisting of text only or mixed messages.
Apparently Whatsapp has four sizes for emoji messages. With the number of Emojis size decreases:

• 1 emoji message
• 2 Emojis message
• 3 Emojis message
• 4 or more Emojis or mixed messages

This issue can be closed as it has been fixed by the PR https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Android/pull/6531

@rainerzufall it should be kept open, as they don't work anymore in 4.13.2

For me it is working since April, when the aforementioned PR was commited. No change in displaying Jumbomoji with 4.13.2.

If it has stopped working for you with the update to 4.13.2 you probably should open a new issue, completely with all the information that is being asked (debug logs, phone specs, etc. // see here for what is needed: https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Android/wiki/Submitting-useful-bug-reports)

Seems that it is no longer working for some emojis. I found the following examples by chance:

@rainerzufall Maybe you could check these emoji with your Signal-instance.

All three are working as expected (they get jumbosized) on my phone (Device: Fairphone 2; Android version: 6.0.1) with Signal 4.13.2 beta.

This feature request (!) should be closed because the feature is implemented. For bugs in the implementation there should be separate issues like #6758 and #7213.
