14% of Gen Z’ers Use More Than 100 Emojis a Day

You probably know at least one person who almost exclusively comments in emojis online… for better or worse.

And it’s probably “for worse” if you don’t like decoding all messages like it’s “Classic Concentration”.

In a recent study by Adobe, 91% of people say emojis make it easier for them to express themselves.

More than half of messages from Gen Z’ers or Millennials include at least one emoji.  And Gen Z’ers estimate that 41% of their messages are only emojis.

14% of Gen Z’ers say they average more than 100 emojis a day.  That declines for older adults.  Only 2% of Boomers are that prolific.

But emojis can complicate communication too. 

More than 70% of Gen Z and Millennials say they’ve received an emoji that did NOT match the emotion a person was trying to convey.  And about two-thirds of Gen Z and Millennials admit that they’ve used emojis differently than their intended meanings. 

Maybe you’re someone who’s somehow still holding out, and refusing to use them. But it would be a lot cooler if you did. 73% of American emoji users think people who use emojis are friendlier, funnier, and cooler than those who don’t.
