That is no indicator of been hacked...

Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards. Then tap "Edit" and delete the Emoji keyboard.

alternatively:

iPhone's built-in Emoji keyboard can be reset to the default set by going to Settings app → General → Reset and tapping Reset Keyboard Dictionary.

I will note—The command is not specific to reset the "Frequently Used" Emoji list

But a side effect, you'll end up resetting your custom dictionary &, all the downloaded dictionaries will be deleted.

Hey there nnoskii,

To clarify, do you notice if the same emojis appear when using the keyboard in another application, like Messages? What about when using a regular browser instead of Private Browsing Mode?

If you continue seeing this, try removing the emoji keyboard, then add it back. Use the steps below to remove it:

1. Go to Settings > General and tap Keyboard.
2. Tap Keyboards, then tap Edit at the top right.
3. Select the red circle to remove the Emoji keyboard.

Once it's removed, continue with these steps to add it back:

1. Go to Settings > General and tap Keyboard.

2. Tap Keyboards, then tap Add New Keyboard.

3. Tap Emoji.

Feel free to post a reply should this persist.

Take care!
