This year is almost over, it has a little more than 25 days left as I write this article, and in the same way that Spotify launched into letting us know which songs had been our most listened to, now it's up to the Emoji managers to remind us which have been the most used Emoji.
In this "emoticons" society is also evolving, in the same way that some words become fashionable or are used more or less depending on the urban culture that is applied, Emojis also evolve. Let's see which have been the most used Emojis during this year 2021 and the meaning of some of them.
How could it be otherwise, the most widely used Emoji by far has been that of laughter with tears, in fact, 5% of all shipments correspond to this Emoji, closely followed by the Red Heart Emoji. This is a relevant fact, both Emojis convey pleasant information, everything indicates that when we want to convey "bad vibes" we bet on traditional words.
In short, These have been the most used Emojis in 2021: 😂 ❤️ 🤣 👍 😭 🙏 😘 🥰 😍 😊 and that we can compare with these, which have been the most used Emojis during the past year 2019: 😂 ❤️ 😍 🤣 😊 🙏 💕 😭 😘 👍, so we see that the finger is pointing up (OK) has gained positions in these years, as well as the Emoji of the pink hearts has disappeared from the TOP.
Despite the fact that there are many Emojis and every time they want to include us more, the reality is that 82% of the total Emoji sent correspond to only 100 different Emojis. In the same way, it has been appreciated how ironic translations are offered to some Emojis such as the rocket 🚀 or the biceps 💪 that can have different meanings.
