Emojis not showing up on touch bar

Hello everyone,

ever since I updated my M1 MacBook Pro to macOS Monterey, the emojis stopped showing up after pressing the emoji icon on my Touch Bar. The touch bar goes black when I do so, and there is still an exit button where it's supposed to be, but even when I click on it it's not responding; basically the Touch Bar freezes when I try to use the emoji option. Other than that the Touch Bar is fine though. The Touch Bar is actually the main reason why I got a MBP over a MBA so that matter really disappoints me. Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix that issue?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

I have exactly he same issue here! On my MacBook Pro M1.

Apple, please give us some actual human replies on this, or at least listen and try to work on the problem for us in your next software update????!!!


I genuinely feel like Apple's approach - to both its products and its customers - has gone downhill a lot since Steve Jobs passed away. The vision, excitement and human connection has been lost, leaving just the commercialism and profit margins.


(I would insert an 'eyes up to the heavens' emoji here. But I can't, because the Touch Bar won't let me. (angry face))
