College Emojis 3.0 is a major upgrade: a complete rebuild for iMessage and the biggest update in the app's history. YOUR SCHOOL, RIGHT IN YOUR SENTENCE For the first time, your school's emojis work just like the emoji on your keyboard. While you type in iMessage, tap one and it goes right inside your text, next to your words, and sends as part of your message. No more stickers sent on their own, sitting apart from what you said. FOUR WAYS TO SHOW YOUR COLORS • Emojis – bold logos, mascots and gameday icons that sit inline in your messages • Chants – your school's cheers and sayings, sent on their own, up to three at a time • Animated – stickers that move, sent full size for the big moments • Photo Props – send a photo, then drag foam fingers, hats and more right onto it 52 SCHOOLS Officially licensed art for 52 schools, from the SEC to the Big Ten. Pick your teams and they show up first, in the app and in Messages. FREE TO START Every school includes its logo emoji, a "Go Team" chant and a "Touchdown" animation for free. UNLOCK YOUR SCHOOL Subscribe to a school to unlock all of its emojis, chants, animations and props, plus new art as it's added and WhatsApp sticker packs. Each school is its own subscription: $0.99 a month or $9.99 a year. Subscribe to as many schools as you like. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.
