I am running sentiment analysis on WhatsApp chats using textblob and the result is working on just text but I am getting neutral results on emojis. Is there a way that textblob would see smiling emojis and return a positive result?

I'm pretty sure textblob specializes on textual data. If you want to factor in the influence of an emoji on a text you can demojize (convert emoji into text) it with the help of an external library. Refer to a similar question regarding demojizing here.
