“The eyes emoji has many uses. It mostly serves to draw attention to something the user wants to highlight, especially in situations that involve drama and interpersonal tension.
“It can also be an emoji representation of shifty eyes or the action of side-eyeing. This emoji sometimes appears when someone finds a person attractive.”
Emoji were officially added to Apple’s iPhone keyboard in 2011, Android in 2013. Since then, they have become a crucial part of how people communicate online.
