Emojis come in handy during conversations, and some trends shed light on who we are in our digital lives, our likes and dislikes and the way we respond to life situations in digital communications. 

Pakistanis have also increased dependency on visual-based communication which led to a new vocabulary of emojis, GIFs, and camera-based messaging, which is making us more expressive than ever before.

In Pakistan, some emojis clearly remained the top favourites on Facebook, which include:

  • Face holding back tears
  • Face with peeking eye
  • Saluting face
