How can I get rid of the stickers and the small "2"in the messages app on the a50?

[Android Central Question]

I got an A50 today and it's ok, for the most part. However when I go to send a text, there is a smiley face square which I want rid of and also in the arrow for sending, there's a small number 2. Please tell me how to get rid of these things, they're driving me mad. Also, how can I change the colours of my texts?

Thank you in advance

Welcome to Android Central! I moved this to the A50 forum for more specific traffic.

Where do you see this smiley face square? The "2" might indicate which SIM you're using, if you have the dual SIM model.

The square smiley face is on the new message bar. It's to do with stickers apparently but I don't want stickers on my texts. Please help me get rid of it.

If it's a feature of the messaging app, I doubt you can get rid of it.
