Cannot get these to work at all, have tried turning on/off predictive, deleting the keyboards, dictionary's, restarting the device everything but predictions will still not work.

I can however at the end of my message press the emoji button and it will then offer me alternatives but I want it to do this as I am going along.

Any advice?

[doublepost=1473849520][/doublepost]I think I can help. I struggled to get this to work at first. When you have finished your message, press and hold the icon of the globe/smiley face and select the Emoji keyboard. Select the orange words to replace them with the recommended emoji icon. hope this works for you.

Don't think it's designed the way you want it to be. I have to do the same thing

If I type " Love cats and dogs" then I get Emoji suggestions as I type just like predictive text. All except "and"

Well I am not getting that!

This is the way I am currently doing it, but Emoji's should be offered as predictive the same way words are, you shouldn't have to do it at the end.

Read the link in my post, and even apples own website demonstrates that it should work the way "I want it to be". Lots of posts all over that they are not working.
