Anyone else have trouble with Emoji Search?

[PuraVidaPerra]

I just switched from a Pixel where I was used to having access to any emoji by using the magnifying glass to instantly search for the one I wanted. It seems minor but the total LACK of a functioning search is driving me crazy! I get "no result" for almost every search! Anyone else have this problem?

When your keyboard is up, go to settings and see if any suggest emojis function is off or not. I tried typing in some searches and was coming up with different results. Hopefully we can get a resolution!

Nope, that wasn't the problem. 😔

Hmm, I'm trying to think, hopefully someone can chime with some knowledge of their own.

So I want to help and maybe we can brainstorm the issue? 😄
Is the emoji magnifying search button the one on the keyboard?
If so, what keyboard are you using?

Ok the best fix was to trash Samsung's lousy keyboard. I installed Gboard (thanks, Google!) which of course works great.

If Samsung really wants their customers to use their apps, they should really make sure they're not💩!🤭

Oh man! Wow! Well glad you found a workaround!

Yes, and I'm using the Samsung keyboard.
