You can get rid of predictive emoji only if you turn off predictive text altogether and you can remove the emoji keyboard if it's installed. The rest of the new effects are user optional, so you can simply not use them. With the exception of the words 'happy birthday' and 'congratulations' which for some reason Apple chose to trigger full screen effects. You can avoid this simply by adding additional text like a persons nameJust a quick question; With iOS10 having all these new "features" of the massive emoji's, things such as the massive fireworks and "slam?" effects and the predictive emoji, is there a way to turn these off?
I personally can't stand emoji's or the look of these new effects.
I hate emojis as well but find myself actually using them now not sure I'll continue using them but almost embarrassed to say that they are growing on meHmm, it still would be nice to be able to turn them off. Thanks for the input everyone, its appreciated!
