How to remove the memoji/stickers from my keyboard in notes app

I have the stickers keyboard disabled but it still shows memoji and stickers in the “recent” emoji in the notes app. This is really annoying because I can’t find my actual recent EMOJI to use in the notes app.

edit: don’t know why it says iphone XS. i’m on SE iOS18

How to ensure Emojis stay in recently used list on iPhones? When I click an emoji, it’ll save to my recently used list. But once I go back to the regular keyboard and then click back on the Emoji keyboard, the emoji I previously used is gone. This has been happening for years on my 13, 14, 15 iPhones. i have already reset my phone but i knew that was not the issue because all models of the iPhones I have had, experienced the same problem.

How do I remove stickers from my iPhone emoji keyboard? I don’t want stickers in my emoji keyboard because they get in the way of the recently used emojis. I’ve toggled off Stickers in General Settings > Keyboards multiple times, restarted my phone, even deleted and redownloaded the emoji keyboard and they’re still there. Any suggestions? I had them turned off for a while but turned the stickers back on for some reason. Idk what happened but I don’t want them anymore!

Remove Stickers from Emoji Keyboard When you click on the emoji button with the latest update 18.3.1 there are 2 obnoxious new stickers buttons that I have no interest in ever using. Turning off the stickers feature no longer removes this button from the emoji keyboard, which is ridiculous. People keep saying to delete the stickers but don’t explain or show how to do so. Holding on them to delete does not work. I don’t want the buttons there at all. I just want it the way it was with the recently used and then the emoji buttons, that’s it. I’m on iPhone 16 pro. Not sure why it shows my old phone.

i’m confused, what does changing the name of my device have to do with the memoji keyboard?
