Visuals are particularly effective in social media. The emotional appeal of emojis has the potential to increase your engagement on Facebook and other platforms. Here\u2019s a quick explanation of how you can use emojis, GIFs, and other images when you answer Facebook users.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why should I use visuals when interacting with users?<\/h2>\n

There’s plenty of evidence that suggests that using emojis has a positive impact. According to Time.com<\/a>, 68% of millennials are more comfortable expressing their feelings through visuals such as emojis or GIFs than via phone calls.<\/p>\n

You should also consider that it can be difficult to express humor purely through text. Users might not understand that you’re being sarcastic, so there’s a higher chance of miscommunication. Emojis add a friendly context and can make your customers feel more at ease when they talk to your brand representatives.<\/p>\n

How can I use these visuals?<\/h2>\n

You can use these visuals in a few different contexts. If you\u2019re directly replying to someone in the comment section or messages, you can simply press the emoji shortcut. Alternatively, if you\u2019re using Facebook on your smartphone, you can use emojis directly from your keyboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although you will be able to view GIFs and images as you normally do on Facebook, you won\u2019t be able to send them in return. Unfortunately, there are certain limitations when you aren\u2019t using the native Facebook tool to answer users.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s essentially all there is to it! You can use emojis in a number of ways to answer users in your inbox or comment section. Remember, because of Facebook’s limitations, you won’t be able to answer back with GIFs using any external application.<\/span><\/p>\n
