Thought you’d exhausted all of the ways to make use of emojis?
Re-examine.
Many iPhone users are going gaga after discovering that they’ll simply drag digital hieroglyphics into the text boxes on their devices, as seen in X posts blowing minds online.
“We were today years old checking out that we are able to grab emojis & drag them to the text box!” skilled wrestlers Chris and Patrick Vörös — known on the platform as @VorosTwins — wrote in an X post after having the epiphany.
As demonstrated in videos, users simply select the specified emoji after which drag it into the text box, where it balloons into a full-sized image like an iPhone jumbotron.
The function is on the market on WhatsApp, X and Messenger, where users may even convert emojis to stickers to emphasise a point.
This technological revelation blew X’s collective mind.
“YOU CAN JUST DRAG EMOJIS & MAKE THEM PICTURES LIKE THIS?” exclaimed one flabbergasted tech-head, sharing pictures of the blown-up smiley faces.
One other wrote, “WAIT YOU CAN GRAB EMOJIS AND DRAG THEM ONTO THE TWEET?!”
“OMG YOU CAN GRAB AND DRAG EMOJIS… when did this become a thing?” said a third alongside a giant heart emoji.
There’ll soon be oodles more of those digital discourse enhancers to pull and drop: Emojipedia recently approved 118 recent emojis, that are slated to drop this spring as a part of the brand new IOS 17.4.
Highlights include a phoenix, a shaking head and 4 gender-neutral families.
