TikTok natively supports emoji across all platforms, which people can use by simply entering them from their smartphone’s keyboard – just as you would when using emoji on other platforms like WhatsApp or Instagram.

However, many users are unaware of 46 Secret Emojis, which work on both the iOS and Android versions of the app.

In a blog about the hidden characters, Emojipedia explained: “Shown nowhere in the interface, the only way to insert a hidden TikTok emoji is to know the list of TikTok emoji codes.”

To use the hidden emoji, scroll down to our list of TikTok Emoji codes at the bottom of this article.

Copy any emoji shortcode and paste it into a TikTok comment or caption.

This turns the code into a custom emoji before your eyes!

“Unlike native system emojis that appear with designs from Apple, Google or Microsoft (depending on the platform used), TikTok’s hidden emoji list uses the same visual style across all operating systems, from all manufacturers,” added Emojipedia.

The news comes shortly after Emojipedia unveiled the 118 new emojis due for approval this year.

The new characters include a lime, heads that shake vertically and horizontally, and a phoenix bird.

Users can also expect four new gender-neutral family emojis represented via silhouettes (scroll down for the full list).
