How to Use 😆

😆 is best used in texting with someone you're familiar with. You might want to use it in place of the other laughing emojis when a friend mentions something hilarious. However, if you're less close with the person you're texting, you may want to use something like 😊 instead to show your support. After all, you don't want someone to think you're laughing at them.

😆 From a Crush

Perhaps it's wise not to read too deeply into a 😆 from your crush. Whether they're a guy or a girl, 😆 tends to be a pretty casual emoji, so it can be tough to interpret from its use alone whether they actually think you're roll-on-the-floor laughing hilarious, or they're just being polite.
