Default Skin Tone With Emoji Suggestions

Hi is there a way to set the default skin tone for emoji prediction? It always defaults to the yellow default skin tone instead of the skin tone I always use. If I type SMH the correct emoji shows in the suggestion but the skin tone is always the yellow and not the brown as I always use. This is what keep me from using iOS keyboard and use SwiftKey instead.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 13

Hello gsmith1013,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand you want to set the default skin tone for emojis. I'll explain.


While you can't do this with the keyboard, if you continue to use that specific skin tone, the keyboard may learn what you use and be able to present it as a suggestion.

Thanks and have a wonderful day.
