The new ios 18.1 larger emoji row is really annoying, Is there any way to get rid of it? There should at least be an option because in a ton of people’s preferences it’s too big and annoying. I want the old emoji rows back. Any help?

I wholeheartedly agree. This is the most infuriating update they’ve ever made to the keyboard. The emoji’s are WAY too big!
Please bring back the smaller emoji keyboard, or add a setting to switch it back. This is awful.
CHANGE THE EMOJIS BACK! If bigger emojis are required there should be that option.
Agree. Please bring back the previous EMOJI UI. Thank you!
Yess!!!! I hate it so much!! Bring the old keyboard back!
please change it to how it looked before. Im going insane with how it looks, at least add option to customize it🤦♀️
Nothing is worse than the gallery and the emojis and the drop down menu. Everything is too busy and larger than usual.
Apple has truly let us down with this
Hey there! I’m more than happy to. Which section did you choose for the feedback to go. I don’t see a keyboard or emoji option. Just want to make sure I’m sending my concerns to the right place. I hatttttte it haha
Why can’t we just have the option to resize them?? Clearly no one likes the 4 rows or the bigger size, but Apple will most likely ignore it. Not that hard to just let people have an option to leave they’re keyboard the same as usual.
Bad Move to make the emojis keyboard bigger 🤯🤬 I prefer the iphone SE for it's small hand-fit, and patiently waited to update until the new smaller version had come out. On my phone with the iOS18 update, the emojis are suddenly GIGANTIC and incredibly unwieldy. It takes much longer to get the emoji I want... let alone FIND it because it is a "keyboard." This is analogous to changing the standard typing keyboard where we already know the location of the letters we want to type. It throws all texting off and makes it more time consuming, not less. Who thought this was a good idea??
ASAP!! Please bring back the smaller emoji keyboard, or make it possible to select the smaller keyboard as an option.

Honestly everything with iOS 18 is so annoying I can’t wait to switch to Samsung.
Nobody here is going to tell you to use any device you do not like. Use whatever one best suits your needs, we won't stop you.

I hate that on this new ios 18.1 update the emojis are so big. Can you please update this. I hate using emojis now because it’s so hard to find them. I use to use emojis all the time. Please fix this. No one likes this. This was not a good idea to make the emojis bigger.
Actually the larger emojis has been a long standing request by users as they complained that the emojis were too small. They used the feedback link to let Apple know and now you see larger emojis. You can do the same thing to let Apple know how you feel and maybe they can make an option to allow multiple sizes. Apple won't see your post here, so that won't do any good, but here is the feedback link where they will read your comments.
I completely agree, I’d rather have a choice if it’s large or not! Sure it’s easier to see but it’s annoying!
I thought that I pressed some buttons combo to make it bigger.. give the option to choose or bring it back..
hi
I did this earlier as well. Flood their feedback!
