"Eight Amazing WeChat Emojis I Want on the iPhone and Android Emoji Keyboard Right Away."

I need to express my feelings by using the strength of the watermelon and the blows.

When traveling to China for work for the first time, I had to familiarize myself with WeChat, an app I had not used before. This experience allowed me to discover the wide variety of custom emojis that WeChat offers, which far surpasses the standard options available on the best iPhones and Androids. There are some that I would really like to be able to use in my WhatsApp and iMessage conversations. Fortunately, there is the option to add any emoji to Slack, allowing me to use these alternatives in a professional context.

It’s interesting to consider that the interpretation of emojis can vary significantly, not only regarding their original intent but also in their current use and across different cultures. I found it fascinating to read about the use of specific emojis in WeChat in China and how they are essential for more nuanced expression, prompting us to reflect on the popularity of emojis worldwide.

Below, I’ll mention eight WeChat emojis that I wish could be incorporated into the general emoji library for Android and iPhone, and how I plan to use them creatively.
