I'm still wondering how people find emojis to insert into their texts. Do they scan the list of emojis to find something suitable for each place in the text? Or maybe they memorized a lot of emojis, they know they exist and it is sort of automatic: you write text and the idea pops up to insert an emoji that I discovered some time ago?
I hope that it is closer to the latter, because I'd kill myself if I was forced to look for emojis so much. From other hand to memorize dozens (hundreds?) of different emojis doesn't seem fun either.
I think you may be in the vast minority here. People born after 1990 grew up using emoji and most keyboards show your top ~25 most used emojis, floated to the top, and keyboards offer search function, this was a largely solved problem by 2014, over a decade ago.
Ah. I see. I replace the virtual keyboad on Android with something else instantly, to get rid of autocorrect and other anti-features. Probably doing that I lose my chance to appreciate the ways of people born after 1990.
Nobody is writing papers or webpages on mobile virtual keyboards (I hope).
I kind of assumed the text was created or at least edited by AI, so the emojis were added automatically.
