Delete Frequently used emojis IOS 10.2

Hi. Is there a way to clear Frequently Used Emoji from my iPhone in IOS 10.2?

Since the update resetting the keyboard no longer does this.

Hi, I have not been able to Clear the 'frequently used emojis' section that comes up but I was able to Change it. The frequently used section has 36 emojis (6 across and six down) so I sent a tex to myself with 36 emojis, each one being different. Basic smilies really. After it was sent I tested it. It worked. Only those emojis were now showing as my 'frequently used'. So your soloution of sorts is now one Tex away. Hope it can be useful to you or someone out there. Cheers

This guys got it. Do this and then you can either

A. send a text to yourself or a friend with your favorite emojis and they’ll be moved to the frequently used

B. Just go about business as usual and let messages start with a blank slate as it begins re/selecting your frequently used emojis based on how you naturally text.
