What are Emojis ?

Emojis are used to express feelings while chatting on WhatsApp, FaceBook, Hangout, and many other social Media Applications. Sometimes they speak unuttered words that people can’t dare to speak. Most of the devices come with preloaded emojis, and if you don’t see on your device, you can find many alternatives on PlayStore or App Store. We all use emojis during chat, but very few people know the actual meanings of all the emojis.
