How to get old emoji keyboard back, pre ios 8.3

I updated my phone to IOS 8.3 and HATE the new keyboard. Its longer and annoying, the "White" color is not the same as the old white color. I think diversity is okay, for those who want it. I just want the original emojis with the white girls that have brown hair(my favorite emojis). I can not get that anymore, and all old emojis that people use now show up as YELLOW! ***. I ain't yellow or from the Simpsons. Please make an option to have emoji keyboard 1 (Original emojis) or emoji keyboard 2 (Diversity) because I hate this keyboard and the new emojis. It would be fine if you at lest kept the emojis the same as the originals but added more colors...No need to change hair colors and such. Anyone know how to go back to the old emojis or go back in IOS like you can with androids?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3

Feedback to Apple, check. Am now attempting to downgrade back to 8. Wish me luck.

Given that Apple is no longer signing earlier versions of iOS, I think you may need a bit more than luck.

You are correct. It's not happening.

First world problem; I will survive.

@ uglykeyboard

You have a choice of 5 colours when you put your finger on the yellow

emoji.

From white to black! 😉

if it was just the colors .... which I really don't care about.

The whole emoji keyboard layout is ugly. Too many icons stuffed into too little space and the worst thing is, no way to customize it so that maybe only the favorites (or "recently used") can be seen.

Thank you for the link, Meg St._Clair. That's exactly what I did pertaining to that keyboard and their firmware policy.😠
