On iOS, at least, it's a simple 'press-and-hold' to get the variants which then persist.

I have, yeah, at least on the ones I use regularly. It would be great if the OS could notice that I've changed N of them and offer to set the default for the rest rather than me having to do it each time, mind.

actually i believe on first use i believe the tone picker opens, making you select one, which it remembers. Then you can change with press-and-hold

According to this https://www.imore.com/how-use-new-diverse-emoji-keyboard-iph... if you change it via the globe it remembers.

Yeah but it only remembers for each emoji - when there's hundreds* of the little buggers, it's annoying to have to change them individually. I'd like it to remember that I've changed, say, 5 of them to $COLOUR and offer to set the rest to the same as a default.
