    Hi,

    I’m pretty sure this behaviour is intentional. The forum is now using the standard set of emojis. On mobile devices these are already available on the in-built keyboard, so adding a separate emoji picker would duplicate existing functionality.

    Mobile platform makers like Apple and Google actively encourage apps and websites to use their system-level features, like the emoji keyboard rather than providing their own. This helps keep the experience consistent, accessible, and familiar for users, and avoids unnecessary UI clutter.
