How to add emojis to your push notifications

Emojis are much like emoticons, but emoji are pictures rather than typographic approximations. Some examples of the most popular emoji are 😂, 😃, 👉,👇,😉,🎉,🤔,👏,🚀,🔥,🎄, ✨ (discover thousands of emojis on emojipedia)

By using Emoji in your push notifications, you can:

  • shorten your push message while making it more impactful ("A picture paints a thousand words" according to Confusius.)
  • associate a positive emotion with your brand
  • allow the user to identify the theme or the benefit of your push at a glance

As a result, emojis paired with great content will generate more clicks and reengagement.

With WonderPush, you can very easily add emojis to your push notifications, either from the push notification editor or via the Management API.
