iPad Air Emoji prediction??

[Gix1k]

Using the new iPad Air and noticed when in Messages and I type things like cat, dog, fish or turtle...I don’t get an emoji suggestion. I need to manually find them. It’s not working like it does on the phone.
I have emoji keyboard selected in settings. Is this normal?

I just tested it on my iPad Pro. It works if you have predictive text enabled.

Odd! I have predictive selected. Not working.

I think it might be because you're not in Safari.

Just create a message / email to yourself with many emoji’s. Once done the OS will know you are into emoji’s and have it included in the prediction suggestion bar.

It doesn’t do it in iMessage either.

That did it! Thanks for the help.
