Use emojis - AWS Wickr

This guide provides documentation for the AWS version of Wickr. If you're using the on-premises version of Wickr, see Enterprise Administration Guide.

Use emojis

Use emojis to react to an individual message with a specific emotion. For example, if someone is trying to coordinate plans, you could respond with a yes ( thumbs up emoji ) or no ( thumbs down emoji ) reaction to indicate your preferences. Emojis can help de-clutter your messages by removing replies or reply-alls.

To use emojis within a message for your device, complete the following steps.
