I don't like to use normal emojis 85% if the time. I much prefer using text emojis (like :D, XD, :3 ).

Its really frustrating that 9/10 times i try to use them, it will auto convert to normal emojis. And even trying to workaround it doesnt work most of the time. It genuanly feels like i am being limited on how i can express myself when talking to others...

It would be really appriciated if you consider adding a toggle to disable auto emojis. Or maybe change it from auto-convert to just suggested. Or anything else that will allow using text emojis as they are being written...
