Emoji button on Samsung Galaxy s5 keyboard

[LindseyClark11]

I have the Samsung Galaxy S5 phone, and anytime I want to use an emoji, I have to press and hold the microphone button then click on the smiley face once all my options have popped up. Up until recently, I had my smiley face button (or emoji button) where the microphone button is now. How do I make it so when I open my keyboard, the emoji button is in place of the microphone button?

Hi, this should be there as it stores your most recent activity. Have you tried wiping the cache to see if that helps? also I would suggest downloading a different keyboard like Swiftkey - it has a lot more functionality than most stock keyboards.
