Iphone 7 keyboard is missing emoji option

My iPhone 7 keyboard is not giving me the option for emoji's. I have 2 keyboards, English and Bitmoji. I've tried uninstalling my Bitmoji keyboard and then it will only show the MIC icon and the globe icon is gone so no option for emoji's. I've rebooted and tried everything I could think of. Anyone else see this?

iPhone 7, iOS 10

I figured out; the emoji keyboard dropped into languages!

The emoji option is on the list of Keyboards but no option to activate.

Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Keyboards>Add New Keyboard. All you need to do to activate the Emoji keyboard is to tap on it.


Once you've installed it, on any keyboard, tap on the Globe key, then tap on "Emoji".


Which part of those instructions is not working for you?


Remove any third party keyboards you have installed.

I have tried your instructions and the Emoji keyboard is listed but not clickable !

Any ideas why and how to fix this ?

iPhone 7plus iOS 10.3.3 (I don't have bitmoji installed)

Do you have any other third party keyboards installed? If so, delete them and try again.


Next steps to try: power your phone off and on again and try again. Reset your settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. Be aware you'll have to redo any changes and customizations you've done in settings. Restore from a back up. Restore as new.

I had the same issue. The emoji keyboard wasn’t listed under keyboards-it had dropped down into the languages. I clicked on it and added it and it worked!!

When you tap on "Add New Keyboard" you get Suggested Keyboards, Third-party Keyboards and Other iPhone Keyboards. Emoji is (and always has been) in Other iPhone Keyboards.
