Frequently Used Emoji List

Why are emojis I haven’t used showing up in my frequent/recent list? I rarely use emojis at all, and the list has 34 on it! Some I haven’t even ever seen.

Frequently used emojis? 🧳🥶😛🌴🌲🛌🤌🏽🌙👇🏽😱😛😲🤩 The above emojis have been appearing recently in my “frequently used emoji” list. Most of them, I have NEVER used before. Apple support told me that’s because there are a certain number of spaces that need to be filled, in the “frequently used emoji” section, and so the Apple system randomly selects emojis to fill the required spaces. But I have owned an Apple iPhone for years (previously an iPhone 6 and now an iPhone 12), and these emojis have never appeared before. A few of them have also recently appeared on my iPad as well.

Hello rosegoldx926,

If you're asking how to reset and erase recently used emojis, go to the Settings app → General → Reset and tap on Reset Keyboard Dictionary.

I’m not- I’m asking what would cause this to happen.
