The emojis They are an element that entered our lives a few years ago and now it seems impossible to write through social networks or messaging apps without using them. Small elements that are included by default in the keyboard of many smartphones or in those same applications for networks. But of course, the intensive use of these emoticons has meant that, in apps like TikTok, they barely serve to highlight something among thousands of comments full of them. What would you tell us if we mentioned that there are 45 of these hidden elements within this social network? Today we explain how you can use the secret emojis of TikTok on your phone.
“Hidden” emoticons in social networks
Indeed, after an abusive use of these symbols, faces or elements, it is now difficult to stand out on social networks when we use them. Where before there was an emoticon for every 5 comments, now it is quite rare to find one that does not use it.
For this reason, the creators of the Emojipedia or even companies like apple, samsung, and a long etcetera develop their own emoticons to increase the catalog that is available to their users.
The truth is that that of the own emojis in social networks it's not something new. Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp have already done it and, now, the app that is most trending among young people has joined the bandwagon: TikTok.
But, the case of this social network is something more particular to the rest of the social or messaging apps. While the rest (or at least the majority) make their own emojis available to the user in a very intuitive way, TikTok only allow its use if you know the code to "activate" each element. In the same way, the rest of the applications also allow us to place these elements if we know their code to add them quickly. But, in addition, they implement a section on the keyboard for its use.
How to use TikTok secret emojis
If you want to use these hidden emoticons on TikTok, you already know that, as we have just told you, you must do so with the use of a series of codes that appear in the following image or, of course, in a section of the emojipedia website dedicated to TikTok.
So, to activate and use these emoticons, you just have to follow these steps when you are going to enter a text on TikTok:
- Copy the code for the emoji you want to use.
- Go back to the text where you want to add it and hold down right at the point where you will add it.
- In the drop-down that will appear on the screen of your phone, select the "Paste" option. Automatically, when the text is pasted, it will become the emoticon you wanted to use.
It is that simple to use the hidden emojis that this social network hides in its code. We do not know if in a future update the way to use them will change and, like other social apps, they will add a section within their settings to be able to use them easily.
So that you don't have to go in and out of the emojipedia website, we leave you below the complete list of these emoticons In case you just want to copy and paste the text:

Where can I use hidden TikTok smileys
This may be one of the big questions, in addition to how to use them, regarding the emojis of this social network. And, very sorry, we have to give you the "bad news" that the places where we will be able to use TikTok emoticons are very few.
So much so that we can apply them exclusively in the Comments on own and others' posts, that's it. Neither paste them in our own post, nor in the descriptions of these and not in your own biography.
While other social networks choose to allow these striking elements to be applied almost anywhere on their interface, TikTok has restricted them exclusively to comments. This, in our opinion, slightly undermines the best use that content creators can make of them: attract attention. It is true that you will be able to stand out in part through the comments, but we believe that it is a mistake not to give the possibility of adding them anywhere.
Even so, we hope that in the near future, TikTok will release an update that will allow us to use them more easily and, furthermore, anywhere we can write text within this social network.
