How do you remove those unicorns permanently?

Go to settings>general>keyboard>memoji stickers. ( Scroll all the way to the end). Click the toggle OFF from green. You’ll still keep the regular emojis, but those God-awful UNICORNS will be GONZO!!😂😅

YOU’RE WELCOME!!

( And your comment gave me my laugh for the day, because I needed it! I HATED those ridiculous stickers)!!!!!!🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Here’s what worked for me. While in messages, click the message bar as if to start a text, then press and hold the emoji icon at lower left. From the pull down, choose Keyboard Settings, scroll to the bottom and click “Memoji Stickers” to off. Hopefully that works for you too!

Which is exactly what I said in the post immediately above yours.

Make sure you're running iOS 13.3, then follow the steps below to turn them off.

1. Launch the Settings app on your iOS device.
2. Tap General.
3. Tap Keyboard.
4. Swipe down to the bottom of the screen.
5. Toggle off the switch next to Memoji Stickers.

It should work. It's the solution Apple provided last year and which has been mentioned at least half a dozen times in this thread, once on this very page.

As a long time Apple user, these are the most annoying feature I've run across in the last few months. The unicorn emoji's have never been used by me - but they appear in my frequently used section. After some searching I found a way to get rid of them and keep my emoji's the phone came with. Go to Settings - General - Keyboard - Memoji Stickers. Turn that #$%! off. Problem solved and you don't have to sacrifice your standard emoji selection :)

Had you just read this thread, you would have seen this solution posted back in December of last year.

iOS 13.3 added the ability to turn Animoji off. Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Memoji Stickers and turn them off.

Due to this many iPhone users want to disable them. Luckily with the iOS 13.3 update we can disable them. In this article, we will go through how you can turn off Memji stickers on your iPhone or iPad in iOS 13.

To disable Memoji:

1. Open settings.
2. Click on general.
3. Click Keyboard.
4. Swipe all the way down.
5. Tap Memoji stickers.

After this, the Memoji stickers are no longer visible on the Emoji keyboard.

You turn off the MEemoji's on your app slide bar (look for the ... on the same bar as the gifs and picture icons) and turn off and remove the me-emoji's and the unicorns are gone!

If you go to Settings, and search for keyboard, You'll see your primary keyboard, and potentially an emoji keyboard. I installed my emoji keyboard years ago, and like the thumbs up, and faces, etc. However... I cannot stand the unicorns. I removed the emoji keyboard, and the problem is solved. Of course, all my emoji's are now gone as well. But... at least this fixes the unicorn problem.

For everyone having this issue, call Apple Support at 1-800-275-2273. They have no resolution at this time (outside of hitting the "recents" icon whenever the unicorns appear), but they do report all problems to software support. If you want the childish unicorns gone, give support a call (it only takes 5-10 minutes) so they can address it--hopefully in the next iOS update.

******, I never imagined that (a) Apple would release something that f***g crappy, undisablable and annoiying, and (b) I would seriously think of moving to Android just because of these crap unicorns. Seriously. I was an iPhone fan since original iPhone. But these unicorns (well, add Mi Band stopped working, tethering problems, weird Safari updates, crappy Scripts, etc,etc,etc, resembles me of late Microsoft, how about to get Johnny Ive back for any money he wants?), but UNICORNS, are you serious? And I can't disable them?

I expect that Apple would react soon and make these unicorns disablable (completely!!!) in the next iOS update.

Agreed, I like unicorns and all, but it would be magical if these ones would just **** off.

Nope. That only temporarily disables them, hence the reason so many people are ******. This is just horrendous programming. Apple must have an 8-yo girl running app development now.
