Emojis are extremely popular with instant messaging users and chatters. With a playful symbol, they can express feelings of joy, sadness, or excitement without typing for hours.

So Rakuten Viber, celebrating World Emoji Day (yes, it exists!), conducted a survey in various countries, asking users what their favorite emoji is among the heart, laughter, shock, sadness, anger (????, ????, ????, ????, ????). It is noted that in Greece, more than 15,000 users voted, most of whom chose the heart as their favorite emoji, with a percentage of 58%.

After the completion of the vote, the company reserved a surprise for users as they will soon be able to react to a message not only with a like but with their favorite emoji! To achieve this, all they need to do is hold down the heart icon next to each message and select the emoji they want to use, similar to the reaction selection on Facebook. As the COO of Viber stated, a like does not express the wide range of emotions that a user may feel during a conversation. Thus, he had to offer more choices. “The emoji reaction function allows users to express themselves in the most suitable way”.
