I have the second to the latest iPad and I’ve noticed my emojis are missing from the bottom. I have my keyboard added in settings and emojis keyboard added. I’m sure it is something simple but I’ve been unable to find anything here or Google. Thanks in advance.
iPad, iOS 12
OK then. Go back to Settings > Keyboards and this time remove the Emoji Keyboard. Then reboot your iPad. Then go back and add back the Emoji Keyboard. Give that a try.
If that doesn't work, the next step to try is to reset all settings. For that, you'll need to know your Wifi password as it's going to have to be set up again in Settings > Wifi. To do this, Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.

Try adding another keyboard. Then you should get a "globe" key which will let you choose Emoji.
Apple Support Communities, updated and migrated to a new hosted site not long ago, and emoji's weren't included in the transition. If you can't use emoji's in text messages that would be of concern, but if you are concerned about not having them for this forum, that is to be expected.
Have you rebooted your iPad? Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time (keep holding past swipe to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go and your iPad will reboot.
And it is gone again :(
I think I know what the issue is which is good but it is a bit frustrating. I have an iPad keyboard by Kensington. When I get the emojis to work again, as soon as I use the Kensington keyboard, it disappears.
But definitely what works for other situations is deleting the emoji keyboard in settings, rebooting, then adding the emoji keyboard.
You didn't say you were using an external keyboard. I could have made this SO SIMPLE had I known that.
When you use an external keyboard, from the external keyboard, you cannot use emoji's from the keyboard. If your keyboard has function keys on the top row, see if one near the #4 key has a picture of a keyboard. If it does, simply taping that key when in messages, brings up the onscreen keyboard, so you can add an emoji. When you're done and want to go back to the Bluetooth keyboard, tap that key again and you'll be back to your external keyboard.
If your keyboard doesn't offer the option to bring up the onscreen keyboard, you might want to check out Bluetooth keyboards which do offer this feature. I use a Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad, but always make sure it has the onscreen keyboard key.
No, this is from iMessage/texting. There is not even predictive emojis available even though it is enabled. Thanks.
Rebooted with no success.
Bingo and fixed! Much thanks.
The example you showed was from this forum.
Go to Settings > General > Keyboards and make sure you have the Emoji Keyboard turned on.
See 2nd example above. It is enabled.
The second example doesn't validate the Emoji keyboard is turned on, it only shows it's not there.
When you go to Settings > Keyboard do you see this?
I’m validating it by saying I checked and it is enabled. Thx
I’ve rebooted and it is still not there. Thx
I'm glad you got it working. Please post what worked for you so other's who may have this happen, can do what you did.
Sorry, I didn't notice you marked my post as what solved this for you.
