Help Swiftkey - Weird Emojis Predicted!

[The_Chief]

I contacted SwiftKey, but maybe someone here can explain it and solve this issue faster:

Was there a recent update to SwiftKey that might be causing strange icons and emojis to pop up in my predictions... even though I have emoji predictions turned OFF in Settings? It happens a LOT - and bewildering array of different emojis baffles me, because they're not options in my SwiftKey emoji set! I've never seen these images - let alone used them! Everything from dice to... whatever these things are. I think they're a YES or NO vote going into a ballot box, but I'm not sure!

So what the HECK could be causing all these strange emojis to clog up my predictions? I use the long-press Enter key to get emojis, so it's not like I'm accidentally hitting emojis.

I'm open to suggestions, here...

I've no idea how you even get the predictive underneath the keyboard on Swiftkey. Anyway they look like they're more to do with the app you're writing in rather than the keyboard. Does your message app have an emoji setting anywhere?

Well, I cropped that image to just show the predicted emojis... if I want an emoji, I long-press the Enter key.

I'm using the stock Messages app on the Galaxy Note 8, and it does not have its own keyboard or emoji set.

For information, I've never seen anything like that in SwiftKey.

Yeah but that picture looks like you've closed the keyboard and just showing the preview of the message you're going to send. If the keyboard isn't open then I'd assume the emoji suggestion is coming from somewhere else. There's no emoji settings on my s8 message app either though.

Soz maybe an optical illusion. The white text box looked wider than the prediction bar underneath.
