Kissing Face Emoji

A yellow face emoji with closed eyes and pursed lips, as if gently giving a kiss.

The 😗 Kissing Face emoji is commonly used to express affection, gratitude, or a gentle kiss. It’s more reserved and subtle than 😘 Face Blowing a Kiss, since it lacks the heart symbol and the wink or playful tone.

This emoji is often interpreted as calm, kind, or lightly affectionate. Because of its neutral expression, it works well in platonic, familial, or non-flirty situations. It may convey gentle support or a respectful emotional gesture without feeling too intense or romantic.

Common uses include:

• Sending a soft kiss to friends or family
• Expressing polite affection, like a thank-you with warmth
• Adding emotional softness to a message without being overly sentimental
• Signaling care without overt romantic undertones

For younger generations, 😗 can be to agree, such as “sounds good to me”, like something you’d use in response to making plans, a good idea or something you really like.
