As time passes by, it seems that emojis are becoming more and more important in our daily life. Many people would rather replace them over words, since they have the power to simplify emotions, become an entertaining form of expression when interacting and deliver quicker answers.

Every year, on the 17th of July, we celebrate the #WorldEmojiDay, but it wasn’t till the late 90s that users started to include the symbol <3 at the end of their messages, which later we recognized as the heart emoji.

Joining the 2019 celebration, Adobe shared a report that sums up a survey conducted in the US among 1000 people, to get a better idea of when and on which situations we tend to use emojis the most.

Interesting insights?
– The crying emoji is the most used
– More than 700 million emojis are used every day, only in Facebook
– Nearly half of users believe emojis can communicate an important life decision

Besides Adobe, agencies took advantage of social media to share funny and cool posts under the #WorldEmojiDay. Check them here!
