My Recently Used Emojis are stuck and won't update on iPhone 15 Pro Max

I’ve seen this asked a few times but with no solution.

My recently used emojis are stuck on the default ones and won’t update.

I have tried restarting my phone. Resetting the keyboard. Removing and re-adding the emoji keyboard but nothing has worked.

I’m using an iPhone 15 pro max with the latest software.

Thanks,

Dan

On iOS, the Recent Tab in the emoji keyboard is dynamically updated based on your most frequently and recently used emojis. Here's how it works:

Frequently Used: Emojis you use often in messages, social media, or other apps will appear in this section.
Recently Used: Emojis you’ve used most recently may temporarily show up here, even if they’re not frequently used overall.
Dynamic Updates: The list updates automatically as your usage changes.
Reset Option: Clearing your keyboard history in settings will reset the Recent Tab, removing all previously shown emojis.

Thank you for this. But it isn’t updating when I use new or different emojis. It is just stuck on the default ones and won’t change.

I’m looking for a way to fix this.
