I know this is super silly but there are quite a few that I would use all the time

I did the pleading face
It's not quite as powerful as Slack, but you can type words and get emoji suggestions.
There should be a new emoji for emoji exhaustion. Seriously, it's got to be quicker now to just write [anxious about test] than to search for the emoji with the sweaty brow, baggy, bloodshot eyes. Oh maybe that's not the "anxious about test" emoji. Text wins.
Eh, I'm not even sure if you can say that's the same thing. It did help when they started adding three at the end in the one suggestion box instead of just one, but there's so many emoji, and not enough words trigger what I'm looking for.
I wish a rotate 90 degrees would be available and we can rotate them any director on or mirror them
wow.... Apple's really got itself stuck in the Emoji business with Messages app now
You'll need a search function on iOS just for emoji's now with soo many

We've got an Emoji search on Android Oreo.
One of the things I enjoy most about dumping iOS after 6 years for Android is the attention to the little things, something Apple used to be king of.
Here's hoping with iOS 12, they pull their head out of their a$$e$. While Android Oreo on a Pixel is great, there are certainly some things from iOS I miss. Namely the cohesive experience between Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch.
I think emoticons where much better. But I don't abhor emojis. What get on my nerves is, that every time Apple comes up with a new version of iOS, there are no new features, no improved stability. The only thing, which is proudly announced by Apple, is emojis.
I've got nothing against Emojii but Apple has got to find a better way of doing this. There are way too many already. It's getting too time consuming to find the one you're looking for.
I think that Animoji is a direction towards the solution. Have a handful of characters that can be modified to do endless expressions and allow them to be saved in users' favourites and recents.

Ugh! MORE emojis?
I really want a Filter button that I can toggle on and off. With the filter button on, it only shows the emojis I care about and hides the ones I don't think I'll ever use (like all the flags). If I'm looking for something I can't find, I can tap the Filter button to show all.
I think the only one i ever use is a smiley, or frown, mad face etc. I can't imagine ever using all of these other ones.
That’s an interesting thought. I would definitely use Animoji more if they were images instead of videos.
A shame Apple doesn't open it's searching API for others as well... If Apple won't allowed to to search, then perhaps developer would hook in to that somehow if only Apple allowed it.
eg.. rather than Apple list all results,, you'd use developers own search to find emoji's

Good news: They are!
While composing a message, go to Animoji and make the expression you want. Then either tap the Animoji and it'll show up in your upcoming message or drag it into the messages window as a sticker. You can pinch to scale and rotate the sticker.
Apple should redesign the Emojii input window with just a small set of categories.
- Recents and Favourites (show up in the main window)
- Characters (all the different animals and characters, including yellow smilies)
- People (Just basic people that are customizable)
- Hand gestures
When you select a character, make the expression you want like you do with Animoji today. If you want further customization, allow you to add features like hearts or tears to eyes, question marks over their heads, etc. For people, allow customizable hair, skin colour, and clothes that identifies their profession. Your recent customizations show up in recents so you can use them easily. Your most used ones show up as favourites.
As for hands, the TrueDepth sensor can be made to recognize hands and reflect them as customizable emoji on screen. A simpler implementation would have you swipe through gestures like on Apple Watch.
For all remaining emoji, iOS could build its own on the fly through suggested emoji based on what you type. Flags and other objects/food specific emoji would be suggested while you type.
