'The scarf has vanished from my Instagram-recommended emoji. But I almost wish it hadn’t.'
Photo: Unicode Consortium Did you recently get engaged? Great, I’ll be replying “💍😍” when you announce it on Instagram. Or finish a big project at work and head out the door for a vacation. “🙏🙏.” A picture where you look cool but I have nothing substantive to contribute earns you a “😎😎😎.” Post a thirst trap? “🔥,” I’ll comment.
But last weekend, something weird happened on Instagram. The app started suggesting emoji out of nowhere — random pictograms users had rarely, or never used before. For me, this meant Instagram was suddenly prompting me to reply with the 🧣. And, oddly enough, I felt compelled to follow Instagram’s suggestion. A photo of a couple I know standing amid the New York City Pride parade? Who needs to comment a derivative, played-out 🌈, when you can reply “🧣🧣.
As quickly as this weird moment of joy came, it went. An Instagram spokesperson told me a team was already fixing the bug as of Monday and the app would be back to normal soon. Indeed, the scarf has vanished from my recommended emoji. But I almost wish it hadn’t. Seeing it there was a moment of whimsy. A moment that made me think Well why the hell haven’t I ever used this dumb emoji.
