Q: Predictive emojis not working
I recently updated to ios10 on my iphone6. After doing so I was checking out the changes and searched on the internet for changes as well. One I saw was predictive emojis. Unfortunately I cannot get them to work. I have done all the suggestions I found; turn off/on predictive keyboard, reset keyboard, delete/add keyboards but none of those solved my problem.
I can get the emojis to highlight the words if I tap the emoji icon but the words don't bring up the emoji in the predictive text bar.
Has anyone found an answer to this? I know it's not just me as I did a search and found others with the problem. Most of them were unsuccessful in getting the mentions solutions to work for them.
iPhone 6, iOS 10

I have been trying to fix this problem too today after updating my phone. My Daughter's phone worked straight away.
The solution finally, after trying all the reset options and turning keybords etc on and off was this.
I sent myself and my daughter multiple messages using emoticons by selecting them as I did before the update. Mostly nonsensical random emoticons. Did this for several long txt messages.
The phone then figured out I like to use emoticons and started suggesting them in the predictive line. Fixed! Hope that helps someone else as it was starting to get me a little cross!
