On World Emoji Day both social media platforms reveal which emojis were popular among their users

It’s the World Emoji Day! While there is mixed opinion on whether we must express our emotions through emojis or just stick to the written word, there’s no harm in using emojis to add a little drama to our short text messages on different platforms. So, what’s your favourite emoji? If you live in India, and work here, then you perhaps notice similar emojis being used by most people.


According to Facebook, if you belong to the Gen Z group, then the ‘Heart Emoji’ is what you would be using the most, but if you are a millennial, then it’s the ‘Thanks or the Prayer’ emoji, those belonging to the Gen X Boomer category too use the same emojis as the millennials. People also shared a lot of other emojis on the social media platform to express their moods and all that was going on in their lives.
