41% of People Believe Every Text “Needs” to Include an Emoji

According to a new survey, 41% of people believe every text message needs to include an emoji to be complete . . . or the text feels “naked.”

It’s more common among YOUNGER adults.  70% of Gen Z’ers say you NEED an emoji . . . compared to 46% of Gen X’ers.  (Which is still high, no?)

But words are important too.  38% of people say texting just a single emoji is a “conversation killer.”

And while adding an emoji to EVERY text may seem over the top, 58% of Americans believe emojis do improve how we communicate digitally.
