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?

iPhone 13, iOS 18
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.
The supersize emojis on the update is one of the stupidest moves Apple has made and that’s saying a lot considering their other moves over the years.
Done. I hope they will listen and give us what we want
Thank Goodness im not the only one. Please bring the old keyboard back — this one is annoying to the core that i regret opening the emoji keyboard. PLEASE CHANGE IT
Absolutely agreed.
At least leave an option to change the setting. Its hideous and extremely annoying. Maybe good in some compromised vision mode or for kids, but not for adults with normal eyesight
Literally the most infuriating update ever. Im ******. Like, they could have at LEAST gave us the option to resize them ourselves!!! I hope they change it back!!! I absolutely HATE IT.
Honestly everything with iOS 18 is so annoying I can’t wait to switch to Samsung.
Howw?? How did you so that? I can’t find that type of keyboard!!
This is literally the worst!!!!!
I am not even using whatsapp emojis anymore, WHY!
I thought I was the only one 😑. This is so annoying! Woke up feeling perturbed instead of being excited about the new update and now starting to wish I hadn’t done it. Please, Apple, fix this!
Exactly!! I can’t get over with this and apple really ****** me off with this
Same here. This is a terrible and annoying new feature. There has got to be an option to make them smaller or fit more onto the screen like all previous versions. It's very inconvenient...
People, this is life, sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose. In this case, we all lost something, should we live our lives complaining about something we can control? Of course not, switch device if necessary, but don’t let this consume 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.
Really, really annoyed. Not just the change itself, but the fact that there's nothing to be done about it, is so frustrating.
One thing that still baffles me about Apple is the fact that "modifications" are not negotiable. It's just like that whole U2 album fiasco from a few years ago - They change something without any warning or consulting with the customers themselves, and then remove any possibility to revert. It's so annoying.
The Emoji keyboard is just another keyboard, let us use it accordingly and pick the font/Emoji size!
