I just had a realization

GTA 5 / Online have been around since 2013, not only that but you recieve a million texts a day in the world of GTA...

...and not once have we seen a character use a emoji.

(bonus realization: Trevor and Franklin are the only 2 humans in the world of GTA 5 that don't use a iFruit, meanwhile the rest of the characters and players in GTA Online are still using the iFruit 9iX (iPhone 4) in 2026 🥀🥀)
