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 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.
Same literally the worst update to date. I deleted the emoji keyboard completely from my keyboard list until they fix it and downloaded a free emoji app in the meantime with normal sized emojis. Only solution I've found so far is just delete it completely for now. Very frustrating. They at the very least need an emoji keyboard size setting like the rest of the font size settings. I never come on here to write but this was definitely needed, glad I am not the only one who hates it, looks like it's a majority of users.
Hello, a temporary fix I have found to have the old smaller emoji page is by using the Grammarly keyboard. Hope this helps
Guys i finally find a way out! If you have a foreign language (to my case, Cangjie the tranditional chinese), the emoji size will come out the former size but choice goes vertically.
Hi guys,
Please give Apple a feedback as I did a second ago to let them know about this problem. The more people share it’s thoughts, the bigger chance of bringing it back ☺️

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!

No one reading here can make that happen. You can let Apple know your thoughts here:
Settings, keyboards, scroll all the way to the bottom, turn off stickers. You’re welcome. ☺️

I agree with this but as of now there is no way to make it smaller. They might add a setting in the future that gives the option but right now we have to live with it.
I found the way! Download from AppStore any app with Emoji keyboard. It’ll add one more keyboard. Than delete apple emoji keyboard in the settings of keyboard
don't forget to report it here:
This is a messed up update! I was checking the keyboard options to see if there was any option that would allow to make it smaller, but there isn't!
Please, include it in the following updates, as it makes it much more harder to keep emojis into conversations and to slide across the categories.
I would not be updating to 18.1 if I would knew upfront what disaster was about to come!
It’s called Kaiboard - a keyboard that you can type Traditional Chinese and English simultaneously. Download the Kaiboard app and install. After that go to “Settings” “General” “Keyboard” then add new keyboard.
Good luck.
I totally agree, you wrote all my feelings. I hope they give us back what we want
