Watch out Unlike most emoji, ❤️ is rarely ironic. Dumping three in a row is normal affection; using it on a stranger's post reads as intense.

How to use it Click the copy button above to grab ❤️, then paste it into iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, Instagram, X or any text field. Emoji are standard Unicode characters, so they work everywhere — iOS, Android and Windows each draw them in their own style.

Display support This emoji was added in Emoji 0.6 (2010). It renders on iOS 6 and later, and on Android 4.4 and later — older systems show a box or a black-and-white glyph.
