how do i delete the emojis from the recently used emojis liste

I recently reset my iPhone 16. But I noticed that in my text message when I went to the recently used emoji area, emojis are already there that I did not use. How can I delete these messages? Thanks in advance for your help…

iPhone 16, iOS 26

If you restored from an iCloud Backup after your factory reset, this may be why you are seeing your recently used emojis.


You can "reset" your recently used emojis here. Go to:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary


(Please note that this will also clear new words and phrases that you have learned from your iPhone)
