Emoji panel works very slowly on MBP 13'' M1

When pressing the Fn/World Globe key on my MacBook Pro 13'' with the M1 chip (macOS version: 12.1), the emoji panel sometimes spawns slower than expected, and the emoji/special character input in texts is very slow, as the emoji gets written in the text 1 second later after selecting it. This is something that slows me in writting some texts with emojis, such as messages to other people.

It happens since way before I upgraded to Monterey, when I was using Big Sur.

Anyone else have a clue about this? Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

I have the M1 MacBook Pro with macOS Monterey 12.1 (the same Mac and macOS as yours). The emoji panel when pressing the fn or globe key comes up in a second (the input of the selected emoji also takes a second). How long does it take on yours? And is your Mac running as fast as you expect?

The emoji panel brings up in less than a second (I believe this is the normal behaviour), but the input is the most annoying thing for me, it takes a second as well. On the other hand, my Mac is running perfectly fine, in terms of performance, as I would expect from it.

That is the normal behaviour, all of the two operations should occur within a second.

Be that as it may, it's too slow, works counter productive, and comes across as laggy and buggy. 😓

I've been thinking about reinstalling Monterey, but given that it's a normal behaviour for other people, I doubt formatting could be a good solution :(
