Emoji skin tone selection inconsistent on iPhone after iOS 18.3 update Since updating to iOS 18.3, the emoji skin tone selection has become even more inconsistent. Previously, the skin tones would reset to the default yellow, which was inconvenient, but now the issue has worsened. The emoji skin tones keep resetting to yellow instead of retaining my last used preference. When I hold down the reaction icon, my previously used skin tones no longer appear. I can no longer select my preferred skin tone when holding down an emoji. This has significantly impacted usability. Can you provide clarification on why this is happening and whether a fix is planned? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Can Apple allow emojis to default to preferred skin tones? Can Apple please, please allow users the ability to have emojis default to a person’s preferred skin tone? It’s a bit of work to have to set each one and doesn’t work with predictive texts.

The skin tone selection for emoji's that support it should be saved. It will use the selected skin tone unit you change it. You should not need to select it every time. At least that's the way it works for me.

You will have to do it every time you select an emoji.
