iPhone 8 Plus to IOS 13 not having Emoji Keyboard Shortcut Button

Hello, so I updated my iPhone 8 Plus to IOS 13 and for some reason, My iPhone Keyboard does not have the emoji shortcut button on the bottom left corner. I tried rebooting, restarting, deleting and adding emoji keyboard several times, but it's not working. Any help? is this just an error on the IOS update?

Following a chat with Apple Support, I got a workaround. Holding down the little globe on the keyboard produces a list with the keyboards....one is emoji, although it is not checked. Clicking on it anyway gets the emojis.

The emojis are now available on my phone 6plus. They NOT in the expected area - on the bar right under the message screen with the other choices of stickers, gifs, pictures etc. For regular emojis, click the globe/circle with lines icon next to the microphone. Hope yours are there too!
