Inclusion of some functionality by rockerhieu to next update

Today I want to suggest an important functionality to whatsapp through rockerhieu/emojicon repository. Emoji are ideograms or we can also say they are smileys used in web pages or like in electronic messages. Rockerhieu do add many functionality depends on approach.

Now I'm making a great suggestion to WhatsApp with respect to emojis behaviour.

You will notice that emojis are group in somehow categories or class. The head categories exist in top rows, clicking on it exposes emojis that are of the same category beneath it.

Today we focus on one category.
I will call it the “used category” .
Smiles..
This used category tries to save any emoji used at any particular time.

And it can only hold 35 emojis.
Means any new one will displace/remove old ones.

This is not right. This should be handled in a way that a user can remove any emoji he chooses to remove at any time or choose to clear all.
Sometimes I kept looking for a particular emoji in the used category because new ones have displaced some of my wonderful and special emojis.

There should be a way , a user can remove any emoji or clear all.

How
Simply by clicking on used category
Click and hold the emoji you want to remove.
A dialogue box will come out
(Clear , OK , cancel)
Click clear will clear all the emojis
Click on OK to remove that particular emoji you are holding
Or click on cancel to abort the operation.

I believe this will be a great update in WhatsApp if emojis will be placed in that functionality.
