    iPad Pro Typing on iPad - a configurable nuisance?

    (iOS 13) The problem is that I'm sending by mistake several animojis and its becoming very annoying and embarrasing for me. Seems like the only way includes removing the emoji keyboard which is something that I use a lot and I dont wanna lose.
