Bug is here

App/src/libs/EmojiUtils.ts

Line 465 in 8a35256

const emojiCodeWithSkinTone = emoji.types[preferredSkinTone];

if preferredSkinTone is -1 .at returns emoji.types[emoji.types.length -1], cleanest solution should be revert back to emoji.types[preferredSkinTone] or add condition for preferredSkinTone >= 0.

if (emoji.types && typeof preferredSkinTone === 'number' && preferredSkinTone >= 0) {
        const emojiCodeWithSkinTone = emoji.types.at(preferredSkinTone);

or

if (emoji.types && typeof preferredSkinTone === 'number') {
        const emojiCodeWithSkinTone = emoji.types[preferredSkinTone]
