how do i retrieve my emoji keyboard if i accidently deleted it?

Dear Apple, I also deleted the Emoji keyboard by mistake just now. I followed all the steps you described, bit “Emoji” is not on your keyboard list. There is only third party “Emoji-me“, I also don’t want to use “Third Party”, how to get my old Emoji keyboard please. Thank you!

Hello Annxx99,

I Understand that you're unable to use Emoji Keyboard in your iPhone.

Here are some steps to Add Keyboard.

1. Launch Settings from your Home screen.
2. Tap on the General button.
3. Swipe up to scroll down the menu.
4. Tap on Keyboard.
5. Tap on the Keyboards button.
6. Tap on Add New Keyboard
7. Swipe up to scroll down the list of options
8. Tap on the keyboard you want to select.

Here is the instruction for add Third Party keyboard :

Add a third-party keyboard app

You can install third-party keyboard apps like you install other apps on your device. After you install a new keyboard, you need to add it before you can use it. Follow these steps:

1. Go to the App Store and find the keyboard app that you want.
2. Tap Get > Install.
3. Enter your Apple ID password or use Touch ID if it's available on your device.
4. Then add the new keyboard. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add a New Keyboard and select the app that you installed.

If you're referring to the built in keyboard, you can't delete it. Enable it in Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards, then choose it by clicking on globe key.

If it's a custom keyboard you diwnloaded, log into the App Store and re download it from the he Purchases section.
