MicrosoftPreview exited, now GA: Expanded Emoji Picker
Description
The expanded emoji update brings users the fun and expressiveness they love from other platforms into Teams. It also introduces a far wider range of diversity and representation in our ...
Hello,
in the text, you mention how to enable this feature. Could you, please, add instruction, how to disable it?
I use Thumb Up emoji quite often, which has code (y). Now every time, I write (y), emoji picker comes up and automatically selects first emoji in the list, which is for some reason Fingers Crossed, which has code (ys). So if I write (y) and hit Enter, I will automatically select Fingers Crossed emoji instead of Thumb Up emoji being sent.
Not even the order of the emojis in the picker - which should react on what emoji code user is typing - does not make any sense as it is not in alphabetical oder by emoji codes.
If it cannot be disabled, could you, please, at least let us know, how to change order of those emojis?
Also, as was written by anzhyg: Who has decided to force open emoji picker every time open parenthesis is typed?

MicrosoftThank you the feedback! Our team will look into improvements for the ordering and selection of these results.
For the thumbs up emoji, entering (y) should automatically convert it to the thumbsup emoji.

Jason_Schumacher : (y) is only translated as Thumb Up emoji if I write it fast enough, so emoji picker would not show up, which requires quite a lot of luck. If emoji picker shows, it selects first emoji in list (yn) - Fingers Crossed Emoji.
If I close emoji picker by pushing spacebar, the emoji is not translated at all and recipients receives "(y) " message.
The same happens, if emoji picker is closed by Esc. recipient receives "(y)" message.
It would be very OK for me, to just have option, to disable emoji picker.
