Out of the 3633 emojis available, which emoji do you use the most? If you use the loudly crying face emoji the most then you are not the only one! The loudly crying face emoji was the most popular emoji in the first six months of 2021. Could this be because some people confuse the loudly crying face emoji with the laughing crying emoji or could it just be how people were feeling in 2021? The second most popular emoji was the tears of joy emoji and the third was the sparkles. The fourth most popular emoji was the red heart emoji. The heart is the universal symbol of love and we use this in positive messages. And to end, the fifth most popular emoji was the pleading face emoji. We use this emoji in many ways, both positive and negative, which means it is a very versatile emoji and explains why it is so popular!

Now listen to the slower version and type what you hear into the text box.
