iPad emoji keyboard in Notes app hidden

the latest iPad update hides the emoji keyboard until you exit plain keyboard.

Is there anyway to access both from one tap like it used to be?

If not then is there a way to float the emoji keyboard like before, now it's lodged in the middle of the text?

iPad, iPadOS 16

Predictive text and emoji keyboard no longer available on floating keyboard I just updated my iPad Air (3rd gen) to iOS 16.3.1. After the update, I discovered that the predictive text options at the top of the floating keyboard had disappeared, as well as the button to the left of the space bar that allowed me to access emoji. I do have predictive text turned on in settings, and it appears in the full-size keyboard, but not the floating keyboard. I type almost exclusively with my Apple Pencil on the floating keyboard, and the predictive text is a huge and valuable time-saver. Losing that feature is extremely frustrating...I hope this is not an intentional or permanent "improvement."

How to remove the memoji/stickers from my keyboard in notes app I have the stickers keyboard disabled but it still shows memoji and stickers in the “recent” emoji in the notes app. This is really annoying because I can’t find my actual recent EMOJI to use in the notes app. edit: don’t know why it says iphone XS. i’m on SE iOS18

Emoji keyboard completely empty My emoji keyboard is completely empty and not showing emojis. I can see them if I type a descriptor in the predictive text, but going to the actual keyboard shows nothing. I got it back after rebooting my phone but it’s disappeared again and I don’t want to be rebooting my phone every day.
