[Bug report] Cannot reply to WhatsApp messages

I noticed this annoying bug on my Forerunner 945: when trying to reply to a WhatsApp message from a contact with an emoji in their name, the "Reply to..." Option doesn't show up.

For example: if I receive a message from "John" i can use the button "Reply to John" and answer from my watch. While if the contact were to be named "John " the "Reply to..." Button wouldn't show up.

When Apple changes the policy. It's not like Garmin wouldn't want to do it. You can blame Apple.

Easy fix: remove the emoji from contact name (why would you have it that way anyway?).

Thank you, obviously this solves the issue. But I was just reporting this since it's a software issue and, if fixed, it could make the Garmin software experience better for everyone.
