memoji back with 18.3 and I DESPISE THEM!

I just completed the 18.3 update and Memoji are back in the left side of the keyboard! They were not there in the last version! I despise them and they are so annoying, but I can’t figure out how to get rid of them! Please help!

it drives me bonkers when Apple messes with things like this! At minimum these Memoji need to be optional, toggle switch on or off! Good grief how hard could that possibly be?!?!
