Model T Emoji for my cell phone?

Post by ivaldes1 » Fri May 03, 2024 4:12 pm

I was asked why I don't have a Model T Emoji for my cell phone? Good question. I looked for one and could not find one. Does it exist for iPhone?

Ignacio, take a picture of your T or your favorite T photo and transfer it to your phone's wallpaper.

If you have a unique horn, you can also record it and use that as your ring tone. I have a WWII jeep "beep/beep" as mine and a lot of people recognize it.

Oh, so that is what you were looking for ! I don't think the EMOJI Gods have had a call for that one yet. Unless you can sign up a list of T owners who are as eager to express their feelings with such vigor, you may be in for a wait for such a symbol. :D

Well there is a way to get that done depending on what phone or iPad you have.

Bring up a photo that has not been edited (doesn’t work well if edited) and hold your thumb/finger on your vehicle. If the screen appears to ‘cut out’ the image with a white line, you are in.

You will be given the option on the pop up to ‘copy - add sticker - or share’
Select ‘add sticker’.. You will see it added to your emoji file

You can then use it like an emoji in text messages - but this site……doesn't let you use it.

Try it. It might work on your hardware.
If my short term memory gets any shorter, I won’t even have thought about what I’m going to forget.

So far the answer is: with difficulty. I created this little .png attached but to get it to display correctly as an emoji on iphone is far more difficult than it should be. If you copy it into a message it scales it up beyond actual size which makes it look blurry. At this point I cannot find a way for it to display actual size. So far there is no easy way that I can find to put it on as an emoji. :( -- IV

I hold down on it, it outlines but then it only brings up Copy and Share... no Add Sticker. :(

Suggest you check your iOS version. My 16. iPad doesn’t work, my 17. does. ??
