Which emoji do you use most frequently? If it’s the face with tears of joy (
) you’re not alone. Apalon Apps, a top developer of iOS applications worldwide, announced the top 10 most popular emojis of 2015. And while the flirtatious winky face did not make the top 10, the list is made up almost entirely of emojis used to express happy emotions.
“Over the last year we’ve seen emojis become one of the most popular forms of self-expression, and it’s great to see that the majority of icons used are to share feelings of love and encouragement, whether it’s through the emoji ‘with heart-shaped eyes’ or the ‘thumbs up’ emoji,” said Peter Skoromnyi, chief strategy officer of Apalon.
