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?

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.

It is a super easy fix but apparently no one is bothering to read the comment that already explained how.
Down on your spacebar you will see tiny little letters. I have Italian on mine so my spacebar will say EN IT. If you have spanish it may say EN SP or something.
If it has IT EN first I know if I thumbs up or heart or whatever someone's text that has an android, it will send it to them in Italian. So check your spacebar. If it has EN first you're good, if it has something else, long hold your space bar, then click the little globe icon on the left. Your spacebar will display the languages, then it will switch to EN IT (or whatever your other language is) and then you are good. Just make sure EN is first on the spacebar and you wont have any issue
I removed Spanish from the languages in Settings and it fixed the problem. But now I have to keep adding Spanish back when I need it and turning it off again. Not an acceptable fix.
This exact thing is happening to me. I agree it must be a glitch due to the keyboard being able to type in English and Spanish. Android users also get the notification in Spanish. It’s driving my MIL crazy as she thinks she’s the one doing something wrong with her brand new Google phone. Should I tell her it’s on my end??😁
I updated my language in both the Language setting and the keyboard settings, which meant deleting my Italian from both. This makes learning Italian in Duolingo crazy, because now I have to manually add Italian each time I use Duolingo and then delete it afterwards, so that the emojis aren't crazy for my family and friends. Apple needs to do better.
My text messages are coming across in English, but my "thumbsup" and "likes" are coming across in Italian. I originally thought it was only happening to Android users, but my daughter just asked the other day if my like was supposed to be in Italian! I'm on 18.3.1 and my iPhone language is English.I'm not getting rid of Italian because I use it all the time.....I just now let people know it's in Italian ha ha.
Same thing happened to me, except the recipient received my exclamation mark emojis in Dutch! My software is up to date as well!! Thought it was just Apple to Android, but my Apple Watch gave me Dutch options to respond in a text!! Please fix!!
The same thing is happening to me but the Spanish text is only showing up on Android phones. Messages between iPhone users works fine. This is making me, and my Android using friends, insane!
iOS 18.2 fixes the bug.
This is happening to me. Spanish is NOT one of my languages. It’s so bad I’m going to switch to Android. Apples does NOT have a fix for this. Don’t reset your phone. Reset does NOT work.
I've updated to 18.2 and things seem okay. I also removed three other languages from my keyboard. Not sure if the OS upgrade and/or both helped.
iOS 18.2 fixes it
No. It does not.
Odd. As soon as I installed ios 18.2 the problem disappeared.
