If you use predictive keyboard app SwiftKey on your iOS or Android device, your emoji use is being tracked and analyzed. The company has been digging into its users’ emoji use to see which emoji are being used most frequently per state.
Well, sort of.
“To identify the ‘top’ emoji per state, we cross-referenced the list of emoji each state uses more than the US average with the emoji each state uses more than all other states,” a spokesperson for SwiftKey told Gizmodo last week.
Regardless, it’s still super fun to play with the interactive map and discover which emoji Delaware uses more than any other U.S. state: footballs, purses, flowers, zzz’s and explosions.
