I swear, some new annoyance every update.

Apparently a few feature was foisted onto my messaging app which allows one to create their own emoji's.

And I can't find a means to dismiss it.

Samsung's custom emoji feature is actually in the phone's stock Samsung keyboard, and NOT your messaging app. As I use Swiftkey and not the stock Samsung keyboard I never see it. So AFAIK to avoid seeing the custom emoji feature, perhaps use a third-party keyboard, e.g. Swiftkey, or Gboard, etc.

FYI you can change keyboard to Gboard etc. by tapping on the keyboard icon bottom right.

EDIT:

I'm sure you can disable the Samsung custom emoji suggestions in the Samsung keybaord settings.

WAY to the right of the emoji bar there was the settings for disabling much of the blinking bling, thank you very much.
