How to Get TikTok Emojis
Getting Started with TikTok Emojis
TikTok offers two main types of emojis: standard emojis that are available on most platforms, and special TikTok-exclusive hidden emoji codes. Both can enhance your videos, comments, and messages, making your content more engaging and expressive.
Standard Emojis on TikTok
The standard emojis on TikTok are the same ones you use across other apps on your device. Here's how to access them:
- iOS Devices: When typing in TikTok, tap the emoji icon on your keyboard (usually a smiley face) to open the emoji keyboard. You can browse categories or search for specific emojis.
- Android Devices: Similarly, tap the emoji icon on your keyboard. Some Android keyboards might require you to long-press the enter key or use a dedicated emoji button.
- TikTok Web: If you're using TikTok on a computer, you might need to use keyboard shortcuts (like Windows key + period on Windows or Command + Control + Space on Mac) to access emojis.
Hidden TikTok Emoji Codes
TikTok has a unique feature: special emoji codes that display as custom emoticons when typed in comments or messages. These are exclusive to TikTok and provide a fun way to express yourself.
To use these hidden emoji codes:
- Simply type the code in square brackets (e.g.,
[smile]
,[laugh]
,[angry]
) in a comment or direct message. - When you post the comment or send the message, TikTok automatically converts the code into a special emoji.
- These hidden emoji codes work on all devices and platforms where TikTok is available.
