iOS 18.2 Emoji Keyboard Not Updating

after updating to IOS 18.2 I have been facing an emoji lag in the keyboard, it gets fixed for a while after restarting but comes up again after a few hours it is very annoying.

also the emoji that I search for does not gets included in my recently used emojis.


 is there any way to solve it or someone else facing the same issue?

Okay, i found a fast fix for this problem.

U can go to: Settings -> General -> Keyboards -> Emoji-Symbole Sticker: Off

After this, u have the old version of emoji keyboard without lagging.

Same problem on iPhone 14 Pro Max IOS 18.2. The guys from Apple seem to be experts at fixing something and breaking something else. Each update brings more problems than it solves, is frustrating. Maybe is the first and last iPhone. With Samsung I never had this kind of stupid problem: not being able to properly type on a device in 2024.

My stickers are already off & still having this problem. When i open the emoji keyboard it’s also a blank black space for about 5 seconds before the keyboard shows up. Using 1/6th of my system storage, new iphone 16pro. So many keyboard/ predictive text/ etc issues i’ve turned most off and still have issues

Unfortunately, this doesn't help. You restarted your phone, that's why it's better, but it's temporary. I've had stickers turned off forever and it doesn't change anything.

Задержка эмодзи в iOS 18.2

после обновления до IOS 18.2 я столкнулся с задержкой эмодзи на клавиатуре, это исправляется на некоторое время после перезагрузки, но появляется снова через несколько часов? Как решить проблему?

Same here. It started with the iOS 18.0 (beta) when I was on 13 Pro and is still the same on 18.3 on my 16 Pro. The recently used emojis (at least on whatsapp) don’t show, the lag in opening the emoji section on keyboard is annoying and is very frequent. So far iOS 18 has been the most unstable and unreliable update in many years.
