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!

I figured out where to find the Memojis. If you are in a new message and hit the "+" sign as you normally would to find the Memoji options, hit "Stickers". This is not the end, the stickers only show a small selection of recently used Memoji stickers, so this is just a waypoint to getting them all back. OK, once you are in stickers, in the top row (selection tools for stickers, not stickers themselves), click on "EDIT" to the far right. When the new window opens, ignore the sticker apps options, and click the button below those that says, "Get Sticker Apps on the App Store." Search for Bitmoji, and download it from the cloud. As soon as you do that your old avatar and the large selection of sticker options will appear again! I can now see the Bitmoji icon when I create a new message, and have the full array of Memojis to choose from.
