This has a simple solution.


Go to Settings > General > Keyboard , then scroll down until you see "Memoji stickers". Toggle it off.


The unicorns are gone, voila.


A lot of people are really upset about this.

My God, Apple. We all agree. We are not all 6 year old children. The unicorn emojis are terrible; they are in the way & are MOST CERTAINLY NOT, I repeat NOT “frequently used!” Get rid of them or allow your users to remove them. I’ve been, thus far, willing to pay your outrageous prices so please refrain from forcing me to put up with your inane idea of progress!

The weird thing is, not everybody seems to have these awful emojis. My husband warned his colleague not to do the latest update but he already had, a few days ago - but they didn’t appear on his phone! Which begs the question, what is going on? Has someone sabotaged the update because they are a disgruntled employee and now Apple are frantically trying to solve the problem? I prefer this explanation to the one that Apple might genuinely think their users really want this garbage on their ‘frequently used’ emojis.

SEND A FIX PLEASE

You can't delete your own post, you can edit it within a 15 minute window.


Yep, lots of people with 13.2.x complaining about no ability to get rid of the unicorns and although hacks were provided they really weren't permanent and were kludgy. 13.3 provided the switch you are referring to. I didn't realize there was so much unicorn hatred in the world.

Please kill these effing unicorns. Why the **** would an adult want these these to come up continuously?

Please read the effing conversation. Update to iOS 13.3


An adult would read the previous entries to be sure they won't embarrass themselves with a profane rant..


On a device running iOS 13.3, go to Settings > General > Keyboard, scroll down and tap the slider next to “Memoji Keyboard” to disable Memojis in all apps. This is much easier compared to disabling Memojis in earlier versions of iOS and iPadOS 13.

I have created my own emoji using the … button located between the “regular” and the unicorn emojis. I did nit need my own emoji and I still certainly do not need the infantile unicorn emojis. Why Apple has decided to place them to the left of their regular emojis instead of somewhere further back, remains their secret, but they appear to be targeting the fairy princess community in the age range from 7-11 now with their €1600 iPhones and iPads now. Good luck!


Clicking on the little clock face button to the right of the ABC button on the bottom row will return to the usuals emoji display.
