Go back to my question iPad User profile for user: nickiiii nickiiii Author User level: Level 1 14 points Change emoji colour default

I changed the emoji colour default colour for several emojis on my iPad From the yellow to another colour. For one emoji I accidentally selected the wrong colour and have found there is no way to select another colour or change the new default to what I want. Whenever I hold my finger on the emoji the range of colours come up but it goes off screen as soon as I move my finger making it impossible to select another colour or change it. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm sure this would be the same on an iPhone as it's an iOS problem.

iPad Air, iOS 8.3, null

Tap and hold your finger on the emoji you want to change & without lifting your finger up, slide your finger to the color you want and once your finger is on that color (highlighted blue) lift it up and the new color will be selected.

Nevermind, my messages just made a liar out of me and started to work. I don't think I held it long enough.

This didn't work for me. When I hold it nothing comes up. What do I do if that happens.

Doesn't work on my iPad at all. The band with the colors comes up, but disappears when I put my other finger over the new one. Has something changed with the new OS?

Thanks for helping! I'm not sure why I didn't think of that! Problem solved.
