Frequently asked questions

How many secret emojis does TikTok have?

There are 46 known codes. 23 are round faces and most of the rest are small dumpling-shaped characters.

Why isn’t my secret emoji working?

Check the square brackets and spelling, with no spaces or capitals. Update the app. The emojis show in the TikTok app, not always on the web.

Where do secret emojis work?

In comments and captions in the TikTok app. Some users report they also work in bios and messages.

Can I use them outside TikTok?

No. Other apps show the plain code, like [smile]. For other apps, use normal emojis.
