In case you are not aware, the virtual keyboard on iPhone comes with the built-in ability to suggest words that can be replaced with Emojis by simply tapping on them.
As you may agree, this is much easier than using the Emoji Keyboard, which requires you to scroll through an endless list of Emojis to find the right Emoji that is appropriate to convey the intended meaning of your message.

All that is required to Replace words with Emojis in any iMessage or Text Message that is being sent from your device is to type your message as usual and then tap on the Emoji Icon, located on the keyboard of your iPhone.
This results in iPhone highlighting words within your message that can be replaced with Emojis by individually tapping on the suggested words.
