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.

I’m just worried someone has access to my iPhone and iPad. I like using emojis but only use a small select number of them. I can’t delete emojis, but I could just click on other emojis to replace them on my frequently used list. But I don’t see any point in doing that. I just don’t truly understand why they suddenly appeared.

I did find my Frequently Used emojis and there are several there that I have never used. Not so many as your list, but I don't use them at all and would never have reason to use a rocket or a bag of popcorn. I think Apple's answer is as good as we will get.
