Emojis and stickers

Emojis and stickers are images you can send to the chat. Use them to express emotions and make communication more fun.

Emoji reactions are only available to users who are logged in to Yandex: one emoji for one message per user. Emojis are visible to everyone. You don't have to be a chat member to add reactions. Adding a reaction to a chat also doesn't make you a member.

Viewing emoji reactions

Emoji reactions are displayed under the message. The most popular ones are shown on the left.

If you click or tap the emojis under a message, you can view them, add your own reaction, or change it. Numbers represent the number of different emojis added to a message. Your emoji is shown next to a number on the light background. All other emojis appear on the dark background.

When sharing or replying to a message, emojis aren't displayed in the quoted original message.
