Who uses πŸ˜› Face with Tongue emoji?

Not quite a raspberry (you know: “phhhhhhtttt!”), the tongue with face emoji evokes a silly mood, a way of saying, “I’m kind of embarrassed because that was a dumb thing to do, but I’ll own it!”

It’s also a way of saying, “I feel goofy,” and, at the other end of the spectrum, “I’m feeling a bit frisky!”

This emoji is a more innocent way of expressing a kind of playful sexiness, but it can also be used in a less savory, lascivious wayβ€”be careful!

And then, of course, there are the adorable dog pics. It’s probably the utter silliness of this emoji that makes it even more popular than the actual dog face emoji. This one evokes a bit more humor when paired with a photo of a sweet puppy face, accented with a protruding tongue.
