iOS 18.1 message emoji showing as text in Spanish

When I click on an emoji on a text message sent to me, the sender also with an iPhone receives a text notification from me in Spanish. This started happening after the 18.1 upgrade. My Language & Region is English for the iPhone. I also have French, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish and Italian. Could this be a new keyboard bug if you have multiple languages set?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 18

The same thing is happening to me but the Spanish text is only showing up on Android phones. Messages between iPhone users works fine. This is making me, and my Android using friends, insane!

Odd. As soon as I installed ios 18.2 the problem disappeared.

What about on my iMac. That’s where it’s happening for me and although it’s happening with an iPhone user, there is an Android user in the group chat.
