My middle finger emoji is gone. How do I get it back?

Please post a screenshot of your emoji palette showing the hands part including the last column with arms.

Ok, so it's a definite requirement!

I don't know of a way to reload the emoji keyboard other than Backup, and reset to factory as though selling the phone.

It is a possibiliity that restoring from backup might bring back the bad keyboard but I doubt it

just make sure it isnt there under the bionic arm

I was searching and searching because I KNEW i'd used it before. And literally could not see it. THANK YOU for the screenshot. LMAO it was EXACTLY where you said it was, apparently I was just overlooking it!

What country are you in? I still have mine but not all countries in the world has these freedoms
