Emoji use has grown from a playful way to illustrate a joke to a language of its own, and it’s a key way we communicate our emotions and feelings online. 

What were the most popular emojis this year so far? We have the data.

Our annual Emojis and Emotions Report is always a lot of fun for the team.
