“…Recent technological advances now allow for the use of emojis (Negishi, 2014), animojis (Herring et al, 2020), and picture and video messages (Vaterlaus et al, 2016). Emojis serve multiple functions including supplementing verbal text messages (Tang & Hew, 2018), which can create shared meaning between interacting members (Kelly & Watts, 2015).
