I also lost emojis after IOS17 update!! It updated to IOS 17 even though I always have “don’t automatically update.” Angry and frustrated!

Nothing they say to do works!

Hi Johnr629,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We'd recommend trying the following steps to make sure that your emoji keyboard is enabled. Guidance is from Have fun with emoji - Apple Support.


"Don't see the emoji keyboard?

If you don't see the emoji keyboard, make sure that it's added.

  1. Go to Settings > General and tap Keyboard.
  2. Tap Keyboards, then tap Add New Keyboard.
  3. Tap Emoji."


All the best.

Thank you very much for this information.

Unfortunately it does not work.

It shows Emoji as a language, but it does not allow it to be chosen as an “on” keyboard. Please advise.

I understand the step to use the sticker, but that is two added steps rather than just hitting the “globe” key/button on the ipad.

Please resolve this. I agree with previous statements. It is very frustrating not being able to use Emoji in a simple manner.
