Missing Emojis from Touch Bar

When I select the Emoji icon on my Touch Bar it comes up with a black strip. How do I get all the emojis to show so I can select from my Touch Bar? Currently, the emoji keyboard is showing on the top menu bar, I would rather have it showing on the Touch Bar.


It has been like this for several months and is driving me nuts! Software is up to date and everything else works ok.


Any help appreciated.

Yes, thanks for the reply. I've gone through all the troubleshooting steps and my setting was already showing App Controls, but it doesn't make any difference unfortunately. I even changed the setting to something else and rebooted, then changed it back to App Control but it didn't change anything.

Yours is not an isolated issue in these communities I have seen before with no known direct resolve—

Yes, I tried that, but I actually never even thought of trying different apps!! I only ever use emojis in notes when creating social media posts for my business, so I didn’t even consider it could be app related!


I am not on my MacBook at the moment, but I will try using emojis on different apps when I get home and see if it’s just notes that has the issue.


Thanks!
