I had found a solution once and can't seem to find the thread again. I'm again having the same problem. Smart emojis are not enabled but it still does it

as we would all appreciate it!

I agree. Emoji suggestions (highlighted words that have emoji's associated to them), when using the Swype feature, are extremely annoying as well. You can't edit if it has a typo. The word has to be deleted and retyped. Can that be turned off?

I have the same problem.  They don't stop even after disabling them in settings on my android phone.

I am having the same problem. I have tried numerous times and numerous suggestions on how to disable this menace called smart emojis and nothing works. Whoever invented this annoying app must have been deranged. Please someone find an answer!

Maybe this will help this is the only setting I changed and when I returned to message+ the dreaded emoji allocation has disappeared.

In settings

Language & Input

Google Keyboard

Appearance & Layouts

Custom input style

Here's where it looked strange but after you select the settings nothing will appear different if you return.

Select Custom input style

German (QWERTY)

In Language dropdown select English (US)

When I selected this a popup appeared stating English was already selected, I went back to Verizon message+ and magically everything was better.

Please let me know if this fixed anyone's issues as I know this was a pain in the but for myself. And Verizon, you owe me big if this helps. Although I completely suspect you'll not even thank me, so no big.

This is an annoying problem but one I was able to solve.  I don't know if this works for everyone but it worked on my Samsung Galaxy 5 with Verizon Messaging:

1)  Go to Settings and actually ENABLE Smart Emojis

2)  Then exit Settings

3)  Then go back into Settings and disable them.

When I did this, then started a new message, Smart Emojis were disabled.  Let's see how long it lasts.  Verizon really seems to want us to use this dumb feature so it will probably be re-enabled next update. Smiley Sad
