I weirdly still use the old ones sometimes ..li don’t even know why ?! ;0)
Thank you @}---! P.S. It is just not the same🌹
I sure do love my emojis and emoticons haha ☺😁
Omg that was a trip down memory lane. I haven’t used emoticons in so long
Yes, only they don’t automatically work from the laptop. They can be copied. From the phone is the easiest 🥰😃
Yep, the laptop ones are the hardest, they give them but you can barely copy most of them. But phones..yeah! They do light up a comment, some people do not like them, took me a while, but why the heck not.
I used to use those before smartphones. I miss those days!
I feel like this is directed directly at me!
That was exceptionally well written.
Thank you for this. If I use my phone its easy to leave an emoji but on my laptop it's harder. It's easy to check my grammar on my laptop. This is great!!!!!
