IOS – Hide frequently used Memojis from Emoji keyboard in iOS 13

emojiioskeyboard

I just upgraded my iPhone to iOS 13 and I noticed that, while composing a message, when switching to the "Emoji" keyboard (that now can be accessed through an apposite button), it shows, on the very left hand side of the screen, my 8 most frequently used Memoji. This is very annoying to me, since I almost never use Memoji and I'd like just Emojis to be shown.

Does someone know how to hide Memojis from the Emoji keyboard?

Best Answer

From https://ioshacker.com/how-to/hide-memoji-stickers-ios-13-emoji-keyboard:

  • Swipe emoji keyboard towards the left and [hope that] iOS remembers the keyboard position.

    iOS "remembers" the keyboard position for a few minutes only. When the app is unloaded and reloaded, the next time I open the emoji keyboard, there are the stupid memoji stickers again.

    later:

    as of iOS 13.2, this behavior is no longer present, and the memoji drawer stays hidden now.

  • And, in the Messages app, bring up the keyboard in the app and tap on the grey A icon besides camera to bring up the feature bar. Swipe to find ● ● ● and then click Edit, and remove Memoji keyboard from the list of favorites in the “more apps” list below.

Update:

  • From the same site: Open Go to Keyboard Settings to remove the "Memoji Stickers". You can search for the same also in Settings itself.

    disabling stickers via Settings only works in iOS 13.3. This option is not present in 13.2.
