Signal-ios: Feature request: jumbomoji

- [x] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates

Description

If your message contains only emoji, they should appear larger.

• It's a proven thing, implemented in Slack, WhatsApp and iMessage.
• It could serve as a replacement for stickers and GIFs until they land in the iOS version.
• Looks good, is probably cheap to implement and would help entice new users to the platform.

Screenshots

From Slack's help pages:

Update May 2017: This is now live on Signal-Android & Signal-Desktop.

I had the same idea and got pretty deep into the weeds of JSQMessagesViewController, was going to open an issue but found this recent issue unfortunately.

Sounds like we need a "Can'tFix" or an "Upstream Issue" tag.

Now that JSQMessagesViewController is being removed, I think this request can be revisited to bring feature parity to iOS.

This feature is complete and will ship in v2.19.
