emoji keyboard not showing up at all

Hi! I added an animated emoji keyboard to my IPhone 7plus that won't show up & I don't know how to manually add it. I've gone to keyboard under settings app but there's no way to let me type it in?

The problem I ve emoji on iphone ...restared my phone... reset my keyboard ....updated my IOS ....by i as i add emoji to my keyboard while choosing emoji for using my apps shut down...as watsapp or text msging .... helppp plss

The keyboard that came with my new iPhone 8 plus didn‘t have an emoji keyboard or emojis included. Doesn’t show in settings keyboards. How can I download the original keyboard or will I have to reset the phone or maybe wait for the next update? Thanks Steve

Try: Settings-General-Keyboards-Keyboards-Add New Keyboard and then find Emoji

Good Luck🙂

Edit: if the emoji keyboard already is in the list swipe than from the right to the left and delete it first and then add a new keyboard😉

Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Keyboards. Do you see "Emoji" listed? If not, tap on "Add New Keyboard...." and add it back.

Have you modified the phone in any way?
