The new ios 18.1 larger emoji row is really annoying, Is there any way to get rid of it? There should at least be an option because in a ton of people’s preferences it’s too big and annoying. I want the old emoji rows back. Any help?

I wholeheartedly agree. This is the most infuriating update they’ve ever made to the keyboard. The emoji’s are WAY too big!
Please bring back the smaller emoji keyboard, or add a setting to switch it back. This is awful.

Really want the option to change it back. I had all my favorites and common used emojis on one page and it’s all messed up now and WAY too big !
Glad I'm not the only one who hates this! Absolutely no reason to force everyone onto the larger size.
Yes, bring back the old keyboard.
And on this occasion: Can we please blank out all the useless emojis noone is ever gonna use? I’d love to just have the categories visible that I actually use, maybe with an arrow unfolding the rest of the bunch.
Hi guys,
Please give Apple a feedback as I did a second ago to let them know about this problem. The more people share it’s thoughts, the bigger chance of changing it back ☺️
Here is the link:
oh my goodness yes! It’s so bad, please remove it!
I completely agree. i hate this
I don’t even want to use emojis anymore. I hate the giant emojis!! They need to at a minimum provide an option to switch back
I've been coming to this and refreshing daily since about 30 minutes after I updated to 18.1 because the change to the emoji keyboard is ATROCIOUS! At least give us the option to keep it at 5 per column/40 per screen instead of 28. I can't even express how annoying it is to me. 🙅🏼♂️

This is too bad, I don't like using emojis anymore. big and repulsive. please bring back the old keyboard or give us an option.
Done! Thank you for the suggestion and providing the link!
This is a messed up update! I was checking the keyboard options to see if there was any option that would allow to make it smaller, but there isn't!
Please, include it in the following updates, as it makes it much more harder to keep emojis into conversations and to slide across the categories.
I would not be updating to 18.1 if I would knew upfront what disaster was about to come!
That would be nice. But they won’t because emojis are popular. And people seem to want more. I wish Mr. Jobs was still around. I think they buggy updates would be less and he would have more say in the design and functionality. The lines are being blurred between iOS and Android (I own both but my daily mobile gear is all Apple always) and I don’t like that. Android is overall junk. They can keep their emojis. I don’t need more. Maybe I’m just old at 44 now but dang. I’ve used and owned Apple computers on and off since the 1980’s, even though I’m a PC guy.
we don’t need more emojis.
no one asked for this “New Grid” of emojis either. If you’re going to make a change, allow us the option to revert it!
I agree with this but as of now there is no way to make it smaller. They might add a setting in the future that gives the option but right now we have to live with it.
How to resize the emoji keyboard on iOS 18.1?
