Emojis not being recognized? What is this?

Lately I've noticed these x-out boxes next to emojis in Google Messenger and the regular AOSP Messaging apps.. can anyone explain what's happening? It's mostly from iPhone users I believe

AOSP Messaging

IPhone's just got a new update with new emojis, so you're not going to see those.

Account Sync Settings removed in Samsungs Oreo Build?

Pictures say it all.
Am I missing something, is there a workaround? Or do we now have no control over what gets Synced?
Before/After:
*Please forgive the old stock Android in picture #1, I could not find a Samsung Experience 8.0 (Android 7.0) picture.*

Google Messages iPhone reactions not showing on ATT branded phone?

I have a stock ATT note ultra. I also use Google messenges as my preferred messaging app. Why am I not see the iPhone reaction emoji. Is ATT blocking this feature. I am on the latest messages beta and do not see the option to turn on iPhone reaction.

Enable Smart Text Selection For Google Maps

Smart Text selection stopped working on my Pixel 7 Pro for Google Maps addresses. It appears to work fine for everything else. If anyone can share a way to enable this or find a workaround to get this working again, that would be appreciated.
