The user experience on Facebook and in Messenger isn’t that great if you want to share playful reactions in your social media posts or in your conversations: the Facebook platform doesn’t provide any helpful search bar to find specific emojis or icons in the long list of colourful options (something which is offered by default on Discord and some other messaging apps).
