Welcome Mikaela728,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, your Emoji Keyboard isn't working as expected on your iPhone screen. We'll do our best to assist with this.


Restarting was a good step. If that didn't resolve it, then we'd check for any additional third-party keyboards added to your device. If you have other keyboards, remove them and test it out. Here's how to add and remove them: Add or change keyboards on iPhone


You can also remove the Emoji Keyboard and then add it back later to test in Settings > General > Keyboards.


Should it continue to occur, please reply back with the following:

  • Any recent changes to your device?
  • Does this happen in multiple apps or just one?
  • Did you need to remove additional keyboards?


Wishing you the best, take care!

Hi Mikaela728,


Thanks for your reply and the answers to the questions, they are helpful. There are a few other things we'd check and ask about for this issue.


In Settings > Display & Brightness, do you have the View set to 'Standard' or 'Zoom'? If Zoom is enabled, does it help to switch it to the Standard view?


In Settings > Accessibility, do you have any features here enabled?


Does this occur in landscape mode? Meaning, turning the iPhone horizontally?


When you replaced the screen, did you have to set it up as a new iPhone or did you restore a previous backup?


Hoping to hear back soon, cheers!

hi, i did get a new screen recently to breaking my old one & this is when it started occurring. no other changes are wrong with my device except the emoji icon, i have tried deleting it in the keyboard section in settings but it doesn’t change anything at all when i re add it. it also happens in every app, anywhere where i have to use the keyboard it is happening

all the system settings are normal, nothing has been enabled etc. when i turn the keyboard horizontally it does the same thing (emoji icon half off the screen) & when i got my screen fixed i didn’t have to restore anything i just turned my phone on & everything was the same, the person who fixed it didn’t get rid of any of the previous settings, data etc.
