Huawei: Turn Emoji Predictions On or Off

Typing on a Huawei phone and an emoji keeps popping up above a word you just wrote? That is the SwiftKey emoji prediction feature guessing which smiley fits your text. Some people find it handy, others just want plain word suggestions without the extra icons.

Enable or Disable Emoji Predictions auf Huawei

Emoji predictions work like the word suggestion bar, but instead of finishing your sentence, SwiftKey offers a matching smiley or icon for the word you just typed. Tap the suggestion and it replaces the word or gets added next to it. The feature relies on the same language model that powers autocorrect, so it only appears when the keyboard recognizes the word and has a fitting emoji in its database.

If the constant emoji pop-ups distract you while messaging, or if you specifically want more emoji suggestions to speed up typing, the setting sits inside the SwiftKey keyboard preferences, not in the general system settings for language.

Where to find the toggle

Go to Open the settingsTap on System & updatesTap on Language & inputTap on SwiftKey KeyboardTap on TypingTap on Typing & autocorrect. There you find the switch for Emoji predictions, which you can activate or deactivate with a single tap.

This setting only affects the built-in SwiftKey keyboard. If you use a different third-party keyboard app, look for a similar option inside that app's own typing preferences instead.

Frequently asked questions

SwiftKey only shows an emoji suggestion when it has a clear match for the word you typed. Short words, typos, or words in a language pack you have not downloaded often produce no suggestion at all.
