    Mark Zuckerberg revealed that WhatsApp users can now respond to messages and group chats with a full selection of amusing emoticons and a skin tone slider within discussions as of this World Emoji Day.

    In order to make interactions more vibrant and enjoyable, users were previously limited to using only six emojis to respond to messages and group chats.

    Additionally, Meta has shown usage patterns for several of our favourite emojis both in Pakistan and globally.

    What’s New on WhatsApp Emoji Dock?

    Emojis are quickly evolving into a universally understood visual language, according to trends. People of all generations, from Gen Z to Baby Boomers, find it handy to “speak” emoji when communicating with friends and family, coworkers, and strangers.

    For this reason, Meta has been adding fresh emojis to its emoji dock so that users may communicate with greater nuance and variety.

    Here are some of the most recent emojis that have started to appear in our conversations, and WhatsApp and Emojipedia have clarified what each one genuinely means to end user contention:

    ● 🧢 Blue Cap: Most of us are likely to get this one wrong. The meaning of this unsuspecting headgear in a digital conversation is much deeper than we could have guessed.

    ● Melting Face: It is the new hot favorite but just like the blue cap, this one is also likely to be misinterpreted.

    ● 💀 Skull: This one is the most misunderstood of all. Commonly denoting figurative death, the skull has found new meaning and purpose with Gen Z in Pakistan and around the world.

    ● ✍️ Taking Notes: This is what each one of us should be doing right now to excel in the art of digital communication.

    Facebook Trends in Pakistan

    Emojis are useful for keeping conversations on Facebook and Instagram informal, candid, and warm in addition to WhatsApp.

    Meta trends reveal that Facebook users from all over the world utilised a variety of amusing emoticons, topped with a new set of emojis, each of which had a humorous meaning and was easily usable, to express their emotions.
    The Meta trends provide insight into our online personas, our likes and dislikes, and our communication styles in response to real-world events.

    The same is true for Pakistanis, who have developed a new lexicon of emojis, GIFs, and camera-based messaging that has made us more expressive than ever. This is due to our country’s growing reliance on visual forms of communication.

    Each emoji’s related semiotics are alive and well in our cultural surroundings, and they gain in significance over time.Facebook Emoji Trends in Pakistan

    Like other parts of the world, in Pakistan too, some emojis clearly remained the top favorites for their ability to translate people’s emotions and situations people find themselves in or their age group and gender.

    Amongst the newly released emojis on Facebook, (FACE_HOLDING_BACK_TEARS) remained the top favorite in Pakistan, followed by (FACE_WITH_PEEKING_EYE), SALUTING_FACE, (Heart_Hands), and (MELTING_FACE).

    Pakistan’s young Gen Z users, aged between 18-24 years used the️ ❤️ (RED_HEART) the most, followed by😂 (FACE_WITH_TEARS_OF_JOY), (HEAVY_BLACK_HEART), 👍(Thumbs_up) and 🤣 (ROLLING_ON_THE_FLOOR_LAUGHING).

    Millennials, aged 25-44 years old also preferred the ❤️ (RED_HEART) the most. (Thumbs_up) and FACE_WITH_TEARS_OF_JOY remained the second and third most favorites on their list.

    Lastly, Gen-X and Baby Boomers, aged 45 and above were no different in their choice of visual communication. They also preferred the (RED_Heart), and 👍(Thumbs_up) apart from the 💕(TWO_Hearts) to convey their feelings.

    Sports are one of the most popular sets of emojis on Facebook. In Pakistan, on Facebook 🏌️(Golfing), ⚽(Soccer Ball), and 🏹 (Bow and Arrow) topped the list of favorite sports emojis. While Soccer remained the most popular sports emoji globally, on Instagram 🏏 (Cricket) topped the list, followed by ⚽(Soccer) and 🏋️‍♂️(Weightlifting) in Pakistan.

    Most Popular Emoji

    Gen Z in Pakistan was found to be using the most diverse emoji set in their conversations like 🚑 (Ambulance), 🤡(Clown face), 💀 (Skull),🙃 (Upside Down face), and more to express themselves.

    There are so many emojis on the Meta platform that it is hard to remember the meaning of each one of them. In such a case, Emojipedia can serve as the perfect guide to the universal visual language.
