Canada's Most-Used Emojis Have Been Revealed & Alberta Loves The Most 'Scandalous' One
Apparently all of Canada loves the laughing face. 😂
When it comes to spicy texting, most Canadians steer clear of emojis with a double meaning, but Albertans are apparently big fans of the eggplant emoji.
According to a study conducted by The Mobile Shop and shared with Narcity, the most-used emoji across Canada is the laughing face, which the study says is used by 63% of the population, followed by the crying face with 42%, and the kissing face with 39%.
"Fewer (bold) Canadians favour the more scandalous emojis," it found, with 6% using the peach emoji, 6% using eggplant and 13% using the fire emoji.
It seems Albertans love innuendos most of all though, as Alberta was found to lead eggplant emoji use across all other provinces.
A majority of Canadians also said that one to two emojis per message is acceptable, according to the study.
People in Manitoba and Saskatchewan were found to be the least likely to text using emojis, while Atlantic Canada was said to be the most "emoji-happy," with one in 10 people agreeing that using five or more emojies per message is acceptable.
Apparently, acronyms are out. Only two in 10 Canadians use them in texts, according to the study, so you might want to reconsider that "LOL" or "g2g."
