This exists in master and 2.35 too. It's not the end of the world, but it doesn't match the design and I don't know how to fix

The issue was that we set the property, which just overwrote the property and removed the link to the Setting.

Looks good overall!

I’m just thinking about how we manage the recent emojis, right now they’re duplicated both in
SQUtils.Emoji.emojisModeland inappMainLocalSettings.recentEmojis, and we’re manually syncing one with the other. That feels a bit error-prone.
Maybe we could simplify by having a single source of truth, for example, letemojisModelown the recents completely, loading them fromappMainLocalSettingson startup and then keeping the two bound so updates automatically persist. That way we avoid having two live copies and reduce the chance of desync issues. WDYT? -
One more architectural thought: why is the
emojisModelliving underSQUtils.Emoji?
What I'm thinking is:
- SQUtils.Emoji → source of truth for static emoji data + stateless utilities (catalog, metadata, search/indexing).
- App store (e.g., EmojiStore) → owns stateful, app-specific features like recents, favorites, custom ordering, write-through persistence, etc.
Concretely, we could:
- Keep
SQUtils.Emojias a data provider (expose allEmojisModel / search API, no app state). - Introduce an
EmojiStorethat wraps the provider and exposes:
- recentModel, favoritesModel (read-only models)
- methods: toggleFavorite(emoji), clearRecents()..
- persistence (load on startup from settings, boounded on change)
- UI binds only to EmojiStore.XXModel ; SQUtils.Emoji never leaks app state.
Benefits: clearer layering, easier testing/mocking, and we avoid coupling utils to product decisions (like which are the recents we keep).
WDYT?

Do we want a fixed size or something dynamic for the times coming? ;)

It would be nice to describe which are the properties expected for this specific model
| if (!root.recentEmojis) { | ||
| return | ||
| } | ||
| root.emojiModel.recentEmojis = root.recentEmojis |

I'm wondering why both recentEmojis and emojiModel are required properties, especially since recentEmojis is later assigned to the model itself. Wouldn't it be cleaner to rely directly on the main model's recentEmojis data? Alternatively, if we just need temporary state, we could handle it internally with a private d.recentEmojis property instead.

Good point. I did realize that too when I fixed the "final" PR.
So in that other PR, I did basically what you're asking here, ie simplifying so that the Emoji handling is only done in one place, which is the EmojiPopup. Now we only pass the emojiModel and never the skinTone or the recentEmojis.
You can check it out here: #19160 (review)
I should have done that clean up in this first PR, but I thought the issue with recent emojis not updating was because of the model, so I did the simplification in the second one "by accident"
