Some people claimed that using emojis as a global language. It cannot be denied that we use them to easily communicate with others online. However, it should not be used in a professional setting. For the reason that it is an informal way to communicate. Do you think emoji make communication simpler? Image Credit: miro.medium.com

Since we are engaged in giving opinions virtually, we can use them to show the real essence of our feelings.

I do think it's an added "visual" to possibly explain what we mean a little further. Sometimes there are no words to say and an emoji can save the day.

You are right. It is a good option to not say anything.

Sometimes I do think they do come in handy. I rarely use them, but they have come in handy from time to time.

I also use them at random. In my country, most young ones use them when chatting with others through SMS.

They sure do but you are right it is an informal type of communication and should not be used in business

This is what I am afraid of. Most young generations are using them when communicating with each other through SMS.

I think it helps. A comment here can sound a bit terse or critical but a smiley emoji can make the meaning more clear.

I agree that some people are quite defensive if we reason out. Emojis can help to pacify situations.

I think emoji helps to express emotions easily. It is definitely not for formal communication.

I think it is fine to use them when communicating with others, especially those who are close to us. If it is an important matter, we really need to use complete sentences and refrain from using netspeak, too.
