iOS 18.1 message emoji showing as text in Spanish

When I click on an emoji on a text message sent to me, the sender also with an iPhone receives a text notification from me in Spanish. This started happening after the 18.1 upgrade. My Language & Region is English for the iPhone. I also have French, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish and Italian. Could this be a new keyboard bug if you have multiple languages set?


iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 18

Check the “return” key on the lower right corner of your keyboard and the language in use on the space bar. Your emoji responses will be in that language.

Tap the “globe” icon on the lower left corner to change to your preferred language.
