World Emoji Day is July 17, and it is a perfect time to celebrate our favorite little images by trying out some new ones! You may already use emojis pretty often, but there are hundreds of them, so you probably haven’t tried them all. Put some new emoji in your vocabulary!
Fun Emojis to Try this World Emoji Day
Many of us use emojis every day and emojis have changed the way we communicate. Here are some emojis that you might have never noticed before that you can try out this World Emoji Day (or anytime!)…
1. The Cowboy Hat Emoji
This emoji isn’t just for the wild west! Use this emoji any time you want to express that something you’re saying is silly or not serious. Put it after a joke or a line of sarcasm in a text. It really helps to lighten the mood and make people laugh.
2. The Dizzy Face Emoji
Are you ever confused or overwhelmed by a text message? The dizzy face emoji is the perfect response. It is more fun than saying “what?” and gets your point across without sounding rude. It can also express that a situation you’re talking about is overwhelming or complicated.
3. The Running Emoji
Do you get frustrated when your phone autocorrects your “omw” to “On my way!”. If only there was a better way. Well, there is: the running emoji. It is a more fun way to say that you are on your way somewhere. It can also express that you are hurrying or rushing somewhere.
4. The Salute Emoji
Saying “okay” or “got it” is boring. Next time someone is asking you a favor, respond with the salute emoji as confirmation that you will do the task. It is friendly and quick. Just make sure you follow through on that favor.
5. The Tomato Emoji
Remember how people used to throw tomatoes at people to boo them off of a stage? You can now do this virtually to your friends with the tomato emoji. If someone says something you don’t like, just send this emoji to convey that you are booing them.
As long as the other person knows it is all in good fun and you’re not using it to be mean, this is a fun addition to your emoji repertoire.
6. The Service and Guide Dog Emoji
This one is simple: more dog emojis mean more cuteness. Now in addition to the classic puppy emoji, you can add these dogs to make your messages even more adorable! Just look at how cute they are.
7. The Popcorn Emoji
Is some juicy drama going down in your friends’ group chat? Whip out the popcorn emoji to let your friends know that what they’re saying is so entertaining, you need to sit down and watch with some popcorn.
8. The Alarm Emoji
This emoji is super useful for getting the recipient’s attention. Use it when you have a super important message that someone needs to be read urgently. This is perfect for major announcements or time-sensitive messages.
9. The Shaking Face Emoji
This one is similar to the dizzy face emoji, but expresses extreme or chaotic confusion. Use it when you really have no idea what is going on or what someone is talking about. Like you are shaking with confusion and disbelief.
10. The Plain Pink Heart Emoji
This is the emoji that people had been begging for for years: a plain singular pink heart. It only got added to iOS in 2023, so it is time to use this fan-favorite to express your love and happiness to someone. Or just as some cute emoji decor on social media!
Enjoy World Emoji Day
Emojis reflect what is important to us and what we want to say. World Emoji Day is a time for us to celebrate emojis and how they have changed communication so much over the years that we have been using them.
