Show Emojis in the Symbols Keyboard auf Xiaomi
The Mi keyboard on Xiaomi phones can show your most recently used emojis right inside the symbols keyboard, but this suggestion strip stays hidden until you switch it on manually.
The toggle lives inside the keyboard preferences rather than the general language menu, which is why many users miss it. Without the option enabled, tapping the symbols key only shows numbers and punctuation, so you have to switch back to the emoji tab every time you need a face or icon.
To enable it, open Settings ➔ Additional settings ➔ Languages & input ➔ Manage keyboards ➔ Settings ➔ Preferences and turn on Show emojis in symbols keyboard.
Once active, the symbols keyboard keeps a short row of recently used emojis visible, so frequent ones stay one tap away instead of buried in the full emoji tab.
If you use a third-party keyboard app instead of the Mi keyboard, this setting has no effect, since each keyboard app manages its own emoji suggestions independently.
