How do I turn off the emoji keyboard on my iPhone? I’m sick of emoji popping up and taking up one of the slots in Messages’ predictive text suggestions.

It’s easy to turn off the emoji keyboard in iOS:

Open the Settings app.
Go to General > Keyboard, then tap Keyboards at the top. (It’ll have a number next to it – that’s the number of keyboards you’ve got installed.)
Tap Edit, then tap the red circle next to Emoji.
Tap Delete.

You will no longer see the emoji symbol in the standard keyboard in Messages and elsewhere in iOS, and emoji won’t be offered as predictive text suggestions.

Again, this is done in Settings. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap Keyboards. Tap Add New Keyboard, and scroll down a bit until you find Emoji. (The list is mostly in alphabetical order – they just put all the English ones at the top. Emoji is down between Dutch and Estonian.) Tap Emoji.

Now the emoji keyboard is back, and you’ll be able to bring it up from the standard keyboard by tapping the little smiley face at the bottom-left. Emoji suggestions will again be offered as predictive text, and (if you’re using Messages in iOS 10) emoji-able words will be highlighted in orange when you tap the emoji button, and will turn into the relevant emoji if you tap them.

Discord has been the go-to service for gamers for a long time but since the pandemic, it has also picked up among everyday users. The service has a lot of room for customization and one of the native features that seem to be getting a lot of headlines is Auto Emojis.

FAQs

Due to the recent changes to Discord, here are a few commonly asked questions that should help you get up to speed.

When will Discord mobile get a toggle for auto emoji?

There is no timeline or release date from the developers of Discord yet nor does the feature seem to be in the works for now. You can use this link to request the same but a toggle for auto emojis on the mobile app seems to be a far-off dream for now.

What happens if I use ‘/’ instead?

Nothing, to be honest, Discord will auto convert emojis as usual and send / over as a character instead. Unless you have the ‘/’ joining with something like the ‘:’, it won’t be a part of the conversion.

Is there any way to use Discord without auto emojis on mobile devices?
