how do I turn on the smart emoji in message ?

In the description page for Messages+, it says you can use Smart Emoji.  How do I do that on Message+?

Update the app in the Play Store and once the update installs, Smart Emoji should be automatically enabled (you can turn it off via Settings).

I'm not seeing it in settings, I'm trying to turn it off

With the app open, tap the three bars in the upper left-hand corner.  Scroll down to Settings.  Scroll down to Enable Smart Emojis and uncheck it.

Okay I finally found it after a two day search but now that I disabled it I

can still see the emojis in my threads. Does this have anything to do with

the fact that I don't sync my messages until I'm connected to wifi?

Once the box is unchecked, you shouldn't be seeing them.  Back out of the app and then see if that changes anything.  If not, then try powering off the phone for a minute or two and see if that makes a difference.

I can't stop them either.  It did initially but no longer.

My Note 8 has no Smart Emoji setting and Play Store says the most current version of Message+ is installed.

I want to turn off the torturous Smart Emoji. Suggestions?

The emoji settings in my Note 8 are in Customization.  The only choices are Emoji One and Classic, no Off choice, no Smart Emoji.
