Oh, no! I dropped my phone and killed it....

No. I think I'm using the same as you. I'll grab a screen shot. BRB

That's odd, not sure why you aren't seeing it. Here is my keyboard in the Messages text app.

YES!!! That's what I used to have!

I assume you checked for updates in the Play Store for Messages? I'm not sure why it's not showing up for you....I'm stumped at the moment

I'm updated. I wonder if I granted permission for emoticons somewhere. That's what's in its place. I don't see where that's at option in settings, though...

I figured it out! Language Input under settings. Keyboard - preferences, then needed to permit "Show emoji switch key".
Yikes, that seems like an odd feature to need to turn on.

Well that explains it, that option is On for me. I agree, that's a strange Setting to enable that button. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for helping me try to figure it out. It's nice to know there's someone out there when something goes wonky. I didn't feel like I was left all alone to figure it out.
Have I mentioned how much I love this place?!?!

Being that you guys are talking about Gboard, I tried it for a while, but I keep going back to SwiftKey. For me, it seems to work the best in all applications.

I used to use that, but haven't since I got my Z. Maybe I'll go revisit it and see if I miss it. Now that I can swipe on Gboard, I haven't even given another keyboard a thought. Thanks for the reminder.

Also, if you guys are using Android Messages, what version do you have? I know that 2.9 is available, but I can't get it on my Z Force Droid Verizon. Just curious.

I'm on 2.8.040
Didn't know there was a newer version. Don't think I've been offered an update. Nothing came up when I was just in there checking the version in running.

That's what I'm on as well. Maybe we need Oreo before we will get the 2.9. Thanks.

I'm on 2.8.040 also; and also no updates available when checking the Play Store.
