Emoji Predictive Text Not Working

[Hawkeye14]

I have a X running 11.2 and the emoji predictive text is not working.

On my previous phone (7 running 11.1.2) when I would type "taco" the taco emoji would appear in the prediction bar. On my X this seems to have disappeared. I was told by apple support that this would start working as the phone learned. But it has not happened yet.

Yes I have the emoji keyboard installed and predictive is set to on.

Anyone else have a similar problem?

Try sending yourself at least 5 emojis...that usually brings back the predictive text

I tried that and it didn't work.

I've been selecting the emoji keyboard and replacing the word manually. still not getting the emoji replacement in the prediction bar.

I had this problem. What solved it was method 4 from this article:

Try typing a bunch of random emojis into a text. Hit return to begin a new line, and type a word that you would expect predictive emojis for.

I had it happen after I did a clean install and set up as new.. I tried everything in the article listed above but, it didn’t work. It started working on it’s own after a few days..

That worked!!! And it's the only thing that worked from that list.

Thank you so much!

Is anyone else encountering the same issue on iOS 12. Emojis aren't coming up in the prediction bar.
I'm seeing the same issue on an iPhone 8 Plus (Clean install) and an iPhone 7 Plus (OTA). Previously, both were on 11.4.1 and this feature was working.

If I switch to the emoji keyboard then the word turns orange and when I tap on it, it's replaced by it's emoji equivalent.

Did they possibly remove the feature?

I followed the steps posted in the link above but no luck.
