Using emojis also means using a modern communication language, ideal to connect in a deeper way with a younger public. There are a lot of emojis that can be used in several different ways.

Which are the most used emojis?

The most used emojis are faces. Each one of them shows something different, such as joy, emotion, surprise, anger, etc. For example, you can use a happy emoji to accompany a birthday greeting. You can also use a happy face for the winner of a raffle. In special occasions, such as Saint Valentine’s, you can use a face with hearts or in Christmas, a Santa emoji or a Christmas tree.
