It emerged as the most preferred emoji in the age group of 18-25 years."With people working remotely, there has been a significant rise in online chatting and with that comes the rise in sharing suitable emojis to depict the emotion most effectively," said Ankit Prasad, Co-Founder and CEO, Bobble AI."Quite clearly, varied aspects related to the pandemic and cancellation of IPL season has dominated the minds of Millennials and Gen Zies in the last one-year period," he added.The growing use of emojis among millennials and Gen Zies is close in line with Bobble AI's recently released study, conducted by Nielsen that analysed how this target audience is increasingly conversing in the viral language of visuals.The study pointed out that 83 per cent of people think that using emojis, stickers and Gifs while chatting are a better way to express themselves."Smartphones have greatly changed the way we communicate. Since body language and verbal tone does not get translated in our text messages or e-mails, the alternate ways to convey nuanced meaning is fast becoming extremely popular," said Prasad.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
