Hello. I note that previous versions of the LineageOS Messaging app had support for including emojis. This recent version does not include such an option. The keyboard choices are simply either letters or numbers. Is there a way to once again have this option in the LineageOS Messaging app?

Note, I do not have Google Play Services installed. I rely solely on LineageOS along with some additional f-droid apps (and this is something I have always relied on since I began using LineageOS some years ago, starting with a Nexus 5 – I now have a Google Pixel 4a running LineageOS 21).

solved: Going to Settings/System/Keyboard allowed me to enable the emoji option.

    On the default lineage keyboard you should just be able to press and hold the enter key for a few seconds and the emoji keyboard will pop up.

    What keyboard are you using? I’m on HeliBoard and if I long press , there is a emoji icon. I’m also using LineageOS 21.

    Thanks to everyone who responded. I did solve this from your suggestions of looking at the keyboard settings (Settings/System/Keyboard). Thanks again. I now have emojis enabled (which I never use, but I like having the option just in case).
