iOS 10 - No Emoji proposal

After Update to iOS 10, die Keyboard should provide Emoji proposals.

f.e. Typing "mac" should Display a mac-Emoji on the 3rd Position of proposal bar.


I know one iPhone (6s) where it does.

On my iPhone (6s) and my wifes (6) it does not.


Is there any configuration to activate These proposals?

A number of folks have reported the same issue. You can find a few threads on the issue here in the discussion groups, each with users who have tried various solutions to no avail:

1) remove all keyboards; hard reset (press home and power buttons for 10 sec); add back emoji keyboard

2) turn off predictive (General -> Keyboard -> Predictive); hard reset; turn on predictive

3) clear keyboard dictionary (General -> Reset -> Reset Keyboard Dictionary); hard reset

none of these have worked.


Some people have mentioned doing a full device wipe; however, I started with iOS 10 on my iPhone 6 out-of-the-box from an Apple Store today, and mine doesn't work. For what it's worth, it doesn't work on my iPad Air 2 either.


The only way I get emoji's is to type the word in question (mac, plane, sheep), then press the keyboard switcher and select the emoji keyboard. This highlights the words in orange from which I can then select emojis. I can't get the predictive selection to work.


I suspect it will end up being a quiet bug fix in iOS 10.0.1 or something like that.

I have the same issue... I updated on the 14th at night and emoji proposal in Message has never worked. I tried all suggested remedies (switch prediction on and off with a hard restart in between, reset dictionary, erase and reinstall keyboards) but don't get it to work. My wife did the update to IOS 10 at the same time and it all works perfectly... We have iPhone 6 plus (doesn't work) and iPhone 6 (it works). I'm actually really disappointed... especially that the update to IOS 10 took a very long time on my phone... 😟

There is another discussion thread on this that proposed a fix, which worked for my phone.


Create a new SMS message, insert many (I did about ten) different emojis into the message and send it to yourself.


Then out your predictive emojis - this started working for me straight away after doing this, strange but it worked!
