The story revolves around a group of emojis living inside a cell phone in a digital place called "Textopolis." The main character, Gene, is a "meh" emoji who was born to show no expression but has other reactions, making him an outcast. Gene teams up with a once-famous emoji, Hi-5, and a princess emoji who is actually a hacker. Together, they embark on a journey to reach the "Cloud" to modify Gene's source code, allowing him to only show a "meh" face. Along the way, they face obstacles and challenges, including being pursued by "antivirus bots" and navigating through various phone applications. Eventually, they reach the Cloud, where Gene decides he no longer wants to change who he is. Meanwhile, their owner, Alex, considers formatting his phone, which would delete all the emojis. The emojis come up with a plan to send Alex a message to change his mind. Gene, being able to make all the faces, is chosen to send the message, and Alex falls in love with the girl he likes, thanks to Gene's help. The movie ends with the emojis saving themselves and their world from destruction.
