Has anyone else seen this? It’s a new issue for me, maybe since iOS 18.1.
These are from last week. One messaging app looked normal but the other introduced gray circles spacing out the emoji.
I forget which apps were which, and I think it may be a moving target. Today, iMessage and Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp all look the same and have the gaps.
At first I thought some emoji were deleted. But comparing the two, you can see they are just spaced apart.
I tried disabling the emoji kbd and reenabling it, but the gaps are still there.
I did some googling, and people talked about clearing FB’s cache, but I can’t find that option, and this is not just a FB issue.
Also interesting the pattern of the gaps.
Thoughts??
