like the title suggests, the emoji keyboard size after updating to 18.1 is waaay too big. It's really frustrating that I can't find a way to change it. Anyone had any luck solving this issue?

omg apple! please bring back the smaller emoji keyboard, or add a setting to switch it back, this is awful.
I hate it immediately. It would be a great *option* but I want the old one back stat.

I cannot stand this new emoji display
Listen Apple we are not all pensioners with eyesight issues! We dont want masks for emojis! Change it back and give the choice to increase the size!!!!!
No literally please it’s horrible!! Like why, what was the reason ?!? At least make it customizable
The empty spots are supposed to be where your stickers go. Its such a huge section and its weird to have random stickers floating around, especially when your trying to find the emojis that moved from the update. Its really annoying how the emojis i use a lot can’t all be on my screen at the same time, and also how much space my stickers take up. The spacing and sizing off the emojis is abysmal.
Apple I HATE the size of these emojis. It makes it a chore to scroll through and it takes much longer to find the one I’m looking for because there’s less emojis on the screen at a time. I HATE that I can’t adjust the size myself. PLEASE change this feature back to the way it was I don’t care if it makes certain Memojis, stickers, or genmojis in the future hard to see.
Honestly i thought this was a bug until i came across this thread.
common Apple, my display settings are on the smallest possible. those emoticons are now "right in your face."
change this back, or make it adjustable in the settings. This is not acceptable for a company as prudant as Apple.
Just gonna add a comment to express my frustration with this change as well. At least include a setting in the iOS Keyboard Settings to choose the size of the emojis. For some people it might help to have larger icons, but for others including me it only means having to scroll even more to find a specific emoji. Please change this.
Just to echo what others are saying, I just did this update this morning and I wish I hadn’t. The new emoji size is atrocious and I hate it. I foresee Apple looking at whatever emoji use data they have in a couple months and start thinking “hmm why are so many people just not using emojis anymore?” BECAUSE YOU MADE IT AWFUL. pls revert or at least give us the option to change it. I’m sure it would be a fantastic accessibility OPTION.

Apple won't see your post here and I would not count on them monitoring anyones usage data. They rely simply on users providing feedback like they did previously when they complained that the emoji's were too small. Having an option to change the size is not a bad idea that may make everyone happy, but they will never know if no one gives them that feedback using the link that has been posted.
Please change the emoji keyboard back to regular size or at least have the option for regular size and bigger size. I’m not a fan of the bigger emoji’s.
