Disable Emoji in iOS10

[AkuskaUK]

Just 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.

At this point in time, there is no way to turn off individual said features.

There are several ongoing threads about iMessage and its new features on the main page. It might be good to peruse the threads, as you could very well find answers to more related questions.

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 name

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 me

The new keyboard makes using the flag emoji when discussing the Copa America and Euros infinitely easier. I like how if you don't hit space after the word, the emoji replaces the word, and after you hit space it leaves the emoji suggestion there to add after the word.
