Emojis have become very popular over the past few years, particularly among teenagers and young adults. This article will guide you to easily change emojis on your Android devices in order for you to find the best emoji sets suitable for you as there is a wide variety of emoji sets to be used and each person have their own preference.
What is Emoji?
Emojis are a type of graphic icon that can be used on mobile phones to express emotions in text messages, emails, and social media posts. They come in various shapes with corresponding facial expressions (smiling faces, frowning faces, thumbs up signs), along with assorted body parts (arms and legs). Emojis have been around since the early days of cell phone communication but their popularity has exploded in recent years as they’ve become an increasingly popular way to communicate across cultures.
You can use emoji in text messages and social media by selecting the text in which you want to insert the emoji and selecting the appropriate option from the menu that appears. For example, if you want to insert a smiley face, you would select “Smiley Face” from the menu and the smiley face would appear in the text. You can also use emoji in a sentence by starting the sentence with “emoji” and then following the sentence with the emoji you want to use. For example, “I had a great time at the party. ;)” would include a smiley face in the text.
