Emoji Skin Tones - Default

Can I select a default skin tone for my emoji? Why does apple assume I want to keep them all the one skin tone and change them 1 by 1? I understand that the circle face or Original smiley faces can’t be changed but I want to make all of the others one skin tone (of my choosing) and change them to fit the text if needed.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

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.

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]
