Summary | Using emojis can be tricky. Firstly, they do not look the same on all devices. This can lead to misunderstandings because we interpret a lot in other people's emoji use. Researchers also advise people to use few if any emojis in work-related communication. One should entirely abstain from using emojis when communication with a superior or employee. One should also be mindful of how often one changes the profile picture and what one's profile picture depicts.
