About This Quiz

For many people, emojis are becoming a primary method of communicating through smartphones and online. You can caption photos with emojis, use them in hashtags and send them to your friends when you can't find the exact right words to describe how you're feeling. But is your understanding of the emoji language as strong as you think it is? Being a true emoji pro goes way beyond knowing that the poop emoji isn't a smiley serving of chocolate soft-serve ice cream.

Sending and receiving emojis to and from your friends or family might seem simple enough. But if you're not quite up to date on the digital lingo, you could misinterpret what someone is trying to tell you, or worse: send them something you didn't mean to say. A pro-level emoji translator knows much more than just the difference between the grimace face and the unamused face. Your emoji fluency might be so fine-tuned that you can communicate to someone that they're late or that they blew your mind without using any text. If you can string together enough emojis to convey your plans with someone or tell them exactly what happened last night, you might feel like you could make a living off decoding emojis.

So, do you think you have what it takes to be an emoji translator? Take this emoji translation quiz to find out!
