Questions
Good to know
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser on your own device. Nothing you type is sent to a server or saved.
Do emojis count as one character?
Here, yes: each emoji you see counts as one. Some apps count certain emojis as two, so leave a little room near a limit.
Why does one SMS hold only 70 characters sometimes?
Plain letters fit 160 per SMS. With emojis or some special letters, phones switch to a different format that fits 70.
