Emojis have become a ubiquitous part of our digital communication. They help us express emotions in a fun and efficient way without having to type out specific words. If you’re looking to use emojis on Facebook, you’re in luck. In this guide, we’ll show you how to put emoticons on Facebook status using Android.
Emojis took a while to catch on in the US, but now they’re everywhere, from ads to movies and even in chat threads with our parents. Thanks to Apple’s adoption of emoticon standards in the early days of the iPhone, emojis have become iconic.
If you’re on Android or iOS, all you need to do is use your keyboard’s standard emoji library. Facebook has support for emojis built into the app, and other users will see your emoji no matter their device. If you’re not using mobile, Facebook has an emoji menu built into most entry boxes on the site, whether you’re typing a status or a comment.
To access the emoji menu on Android or iOS, just look for the gray face near the lower right corner of the status box or the right side of a comment box. Then click it to select an emoji. Make sure not to select the feeling and activity icon if you’re typing a status. It looks virtually identical, except it’s colored yellow, and will insert a feeling to your status rather than an actual emoji.
Windows and Mac both have their own native ways for inserting emoji as well. On Windows 10, just right-click within a text entry field on Facebook, then select emoji at the top of the context menu to open Windows own emoji selector. This box can also be opened just by pressing the windows key and period key on your keyboard.
On Mac OS, make sure your text box is selected, then hit command, control, and space at the same time to open the emoji selector. It’s that simple!
In conclusion, adding emoticons to your Facebook status using Android is easy and straightforward. Just access the emoji library on your keyboard or through the Facebook app or website. Emojis add a fun and expressive touch to your social media posts and can help convey your emotions in a more creative way.
