If the issue remains, can you provide additional information? Then perhaps someone will be able to assist you. Some questions that might be helpful to answer are:
- What's happening exactly when you're using the talk to text feature and there's an emoji in the first name of your contact?
- Is this only happening in one particular app?
Take care!
