Stickers replacing emoji button

Please stop forcing stickers to pop up when we are typing, it is both distracting and annoying when I can’t search for emojis while in the middle of typing a message (at least on mobile). I find it very frustrating that the stickers somehow completely replaced the emojis, considering how the stickers feature is much newer and most people don’t want to or yet feel comfortable using them. Perhaps keep the same + icon in the chat bar while typing, so one can choose between emojis and stickers in the middle of typing a message.
