iOS 10 - Emoji's not appearing in predictive text

I posted the fix for this further up it would help for you to read the post fully...

"The fix is to basically switch to the emoji keyboard and send loads of emoji's to yourself in a few messages. Then it starts working!!! "

wow - you are indeed right. Thank you.

Been reading too many iPhone 7 forums lately - must have missed your fix

That solution worked for me, but it seems you have to use this method in each application to bring up these "predictive emoji" - e.g. if you send yourself an iMessage with loads of emoji, it turns on the feature, but will not also do so in Whatsapp - you have to also send yourself (or anyone, I assume) several emoji in Whatsapp and the predictive emoji then also works in Whatsapp.✅🙂

Good evening everyone. I had the same problem on one of my 2 iPhone 6, updated to IOS 10.0.1

In few words one was not having predictive emoji, while the other yes.

I tried everything I could find over the internet (enabling and disabling predictions, removing keyboards, etc), NO WAY!

I was ready to give up when I discovered a difference in the two iPhones:

the one where the emoji where not working didn't have any dictionary enabled

the one where the emoji where working have Apple and Oxford dictionary enabled

As I enabled the dictionary in the second phone I immediately got the predictive emoji.

I hope it will work for you as well

Best regards

You've probably got this solved already but what worked for me is switching language to English (US) in settings. It started working to predict phone numbers and email addresses. I switched back to my native language and it still works so far. Still not working for calendar though.

Thanks alot! it Worked!

THis actually worked, having reset dictionary, sending multiple emojis to myself, changing language actuall worked fine .

Thank you.

Thank you!! That is the ONLY thing that worked!!!! I tried absolutely everything!!!

Haha! I was skeptical but I tried it and it works!! Now if there's an emoji that I didn't send to myself, it won't come out!

Thank you for your tip!

I have just received my iPhone 7 plus and have had the iPhone 6s Plus for a year and been using the emoji feature and the auto suggest as well . But with the new 7 plus it will only allow it to do the emoji replacements if you tap he emoji button . I have tried removing and replacing the emoji keyboard to no avail . My 6 s plus has no issues with this what so ever. I don't understand why it is doing this . I am very familiar with Apple products as I am 2nd ranked in the Beta Family . I see many others having this same issue . This phone has been active for a week now so it should be doing the emoji replacement suggestions by now . And I have checked the settings . I have it all turned on correctly there for them to appear . In the keyboard and spelling settings .. Thanks for any help ..

Kind Regards Tim
