    Sounds in iMessage app

    Ever since I downloaded 17 I’ve lost the text tone and vibration pattern when I get a text in iMessages. I’ve gone through several help pages and all sounds and settings are turned on correctly. Haven’t done beta 5 yet so maybe that will fix? Anyone else? Thoughts?

    Text to emoji glossary?

    Just wondering if there's any list out there that gives us all of the key words or phrases that cause emoji suggestions. Like I know "poop" brings up the poop emoji.
