How to delete stickers from emoji keyboard IOS13

After the IOS 13 update, it seems mandatory to have the new customizable sticker pack added to the emoji keyboard.


I mistakenly keep sending people these annoying stickers as I habitually press for an emoji and get a sticker instead. so I'd like to remove them entirely from the keyboard. Problem is, I've searched and no methods so far seem to work.

Hey saburu,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


I hear that you're wanting to remove the Memoji stickers from your emoji keyboard. I'd be happy to help out.


Right now these stickers do stay in the keyboard. However, if you tap the clock face under the emojis, the keyboard will shift over to have your emojis first.


Use this guide for what to look for when tapping the clock:

It seems by simply pressing the clock as you said it does remove these stupid emoji stickers from view in the dock. Except you have to do it every single time it looks like because it is only temporary.


what is the solution to getting this garbage moved all the way to the end of the dock where I don’t need to see these gay unicorn stickers. At all. Ever. And also so I don’t keep accidentally hitting them when I’m trying to use the icons that I normally use and like using.

Someone get this man a whiskey!


I feel exactly the same. Other than teens and kids I highly doubt any adult will be using "stickers" as their primary source of communicating emotion. ESPECIALLY since the sticker is a msg of its own. So, it does not fit with the running text. It's been a total pain and inconvenience since it was installed, apologizing to clients for "mistakenly sending these new stickers"


It really is a poor execution and an even worse one at that, since it can't be removed.


Betting $5 in the year 2045 Apple will release "new customizable keyboard" where "you can remove stickers"! Haha


Even if someone has a hack to remove these stickers, it would be much appreciated.


Cheers
