Lost the emoji key on an iPhone 8

I had a few days ago the mistake to tap a fraudulent site that opponed me lot of emergent windows (including opening me the Apple Music App) even having the option to block emergent sites. Then, Safari suffered an issue that wasn’t opening sites with passwords or user and pass. Then, I reset the configuration and I lost the Emoji key from my keyboard. Impossible to recover it. Was just after the last update. I tried every change possible in the “keyboard” section already. Is not there.

Please, somebody know when the new update comes and what to do if that doesn’t fix the problem?

Thank you so much.

iPhone 8, iOS 14

See the 'Don't see the emoji keyboard?' section in:

Press and hold the globe icon, slide without lifting to the language you want, and release.

Okay, so you don’t have the emoji button, as shown circled below?

Keyboards do vary across devices, this image is from an iPhone 11 Pro Max.

The emoji button should appear when the emoji keyboard is enabled.

If you don’t… Tried a restart?

The only thing I know is that I had to tap only once the 🌐 to see my emojis. And that was precisely after a restart. Now I have to add “Emoji” as a new language and hold pressed the 🌐 or tap three times after changed all languages to see the Emojis. Don’t know really, now I have other problem worst that is that yesterday my phone after an issue on Safari stopped to recognize my code to unblock the screen and disabled my iphone. So… will open a new discussion! Thank you so much! Any advice is useful to me! I will be reading! Thanks!

Thanks but I tried all. The problem is not I don’t have emojis, the problem is the path to them now. I have to add as a “new language” Emoji and then hold the 🌐 button to change to Emoji when before this issue I just had the key of Emoji easy to access with one tap I think I had the face smiley next to the 🌐, changed all the keyboard distribution in a way much more uncomfortable. But thank you anyway! GNight!

Nothing 😞🤷‍♀️

It’s ok. I think I will have to accept I have to find the way to find the emojis each time now. And the look of the keyboard not comfortable as before (as was from factory). I hope a new update of software could restore it too. Thanks Mr.!
