Can't delete emojis (1 Viewer)

[reckless]

When composing a message, if I selected the wrong emoji by mistake (fumbly finger syndrome) I used to be able to delete it by simply pressing the back button.

Recently this doesn't work, the back button just skips the cursor in front of the emoji. Deleting text is fine.

This seems very odd. Can anyone explain and hopefully offer a solution?

Thanks.

Try posting then editing after, I find when strange things happen that sorts it out.

but be quick before someone sees the wrong smilie and gets the wrong emphasis

but agree have had to do similar myself at times

out of interest if you highlight it and use delete does that work? or even just delete rather than back space

working OK for me though back space or delete both remove

Testing

Like your thinking outside the box @DavidG58

Edit after posting makes no difference.

I can highlight and Cut which is good enough for the few occasions. I'm bemused by why it's started behaving differently.

I mainly use my android phone and tend to use the back button for Delete. Don't know if there's another/better way.

restart computer, the only fix I have ever really known to work

edit - restart phone in your case

double edit - I have no idea how anybody types anything on a phone, I am bad enough with a full sized keyboard
