When to use emojis

Welcome to “How to emote on the internet.” Chances are that if you enjoy using social media, you have a good handle on translating emojis. The face-slap emoji is synonymous with “fail,” and the fire emoji is the universal symbol for content that’s beyond cool.

You know the language. Now it’s time to learn a new dialect. Here’s a bit of inside info about emoji meanings on TikTok:

• The skull: You’ve heard the expression that something’s so funny you “died laughing,” and the skull emoticon sums up this feeling. Remember that social media users often use emojis ironically, so the skull isn’t seen as morbid – it’s a symbol of joy.
• The standing human: Use this old-school emoji to say, “Well, that was awkward.” Or opt for the secret TikTok [awkard] emoji – you know, the poor little guy with sweat dripping down his face.
• Two fingers pointing at one another: Don’t feel left out if you’re unsure what this emoji combo means. It’s not the most obvious one. Two fingers pointing at one another denotes shyness.
• Chair emoji: Once you’ve become an expert at using the skull for hilarious content, try your hand at the chair. That’s right – this emoji now means something is laugh-out-loud funny on TikTok thanks to an inside joke that went viral.
• Sparkles: Highlight a point in your caption by putting a little shine on it with the sparkles emoji.
• Eye-mouth-eye: Use this three-emoji combo representing a face to show you’re engrossed in the content you’re viewing.

How to make a banger TikTok account

Don’t just become an emoji expert – learn how to make the most of your entire account. You could get famous, or even rich, off your participation on this app, so shoot for the stars. Here are a few tips to get you started:

• Write a great bio: You may only have 80 characters to work with, but make them shine. Tell the world about yourself in a quippy one-liner, or use emojis to do the talking. You can add a lot more information to your bio by linking to outside content. Redirect viewers to your website or other social media platforms. If you want to send users to multiple locations, get a Linktree.
• Use hashtags: Use hashtags in your captions and bio to help the algorithm categorize your content. When viewers search for the terms in your hashtag, your account will appear organically in the results.
• Engage with your audience: Ask your audience to participate in a challenge, duet your videos, follow your page or leave you a comment (with a secret emoji).
• Learn when to post: Engage your audience when they’re awake. Aim to post at times users are likely to view your video and react quickly, so time your posts wisely.
• Keep videos short: If you want your content to fare better with the TikTok algorithm, keep your videos short. TikTok’s algorithm looks for videos that were watched in full, so encourage viewers to stick around by giving them videos they can finish before their attention spans run out.
