How do you get the 3x bigger emoji in iMessage?

Bigger emoji are better emoji. They let you see all the details and convey all the emotions. If you're running iOS 10, iMessage can now show you emoji at three times the normal size. But only under certain circumstances.

Enter one to three emoji in the iMessage text field.
Tap the Send button. (Looks like an upward arrow)

If you enter more than three emoji, they'll default back to 1x size. If you enter emoji and any other text, they'll default back to 1x size. So, if you really want 3x emoji, you can only send emoji, and you can only send one to three of them in a single iMessage.

How to search for emoji in iOS 14

In iOS 14, Apple has add the ability to search throgh the emoji on your iPhone (at present, this capability isn't availalbe on iPad).

Apple occasionally offers updates to iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS as closed developer previews or public betas. While the betas contain new features, they also contain pre-release bugs that can prevent the normal use of your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, or Mac, and are not intended for everyday use on a primary device. That's why we strongly recommend staying away from developer previews unless you need them for software development, and using the public betas with caution. If you depend on your devices, wait for the final release.

Tap the Emoji key while using the keyboard in an app that supports the standard iOS keyboard.
Tap the search field above the emoji.
Search for your emoji of choice.
