Missing Search Emoji feature for Samsung A11

[Interesting]

I know it's been a year (I think) since I last made a community post. But I just came back to say this because this has been driving me NUTS ever since I last updated to Android 12 (One Ui. 4). Ever since the update, I noticed how well things were, new themes, everything! well except for one thing. When I opened my text messaging app to read the tea my group chat was talking about. And you know that we love expressing ourselves through emojies especially when the tea is about your local hater? Well guess what, MY EMOJI SEARCH BAR WAS GONE, I LITERALLY CANNOT FIND IT ALL AND IT'S BEEN SUCH A DOWNFALL FOR THIS UPDATE. PLEASE DEVELOPERS, READ THIS POST. I BEG OF YOU😭😭. Thank you:3

Oh and by the way, why aren't the new emojies on my keyboard here yet? PLEASE I NEED THEM (and the emoji search bar)

It's literally gone👺👺
