Bug description

On Gboard, there is a functionnality named "Emoji fast-access row" that, when enabled, show up above the keyboard to fast access emojis (see screenshot 1). However, even when enabled and functioning in other apps like Snapchat (see screenshot 2), this fast access row doesn't show up (see screenshot 3). This bug occurs in all conversations (individual and group chats).

How to reproduce :

1. Set GBoard as default keyboard
2. Activate Emoji fast-access row in the GBoard settings (Settings > Emojis, Stickers & GIFs > Layout : Emoji fast-access row)
3. Go to any SIgnal conversation and use the keyboard : you'll not see the emoji fast-access row
