Emojis have changed the way we communicate digitally and, therefore, they’re no longer exclusive to instant chat messengers like WhatsApp. Currently, you can send express your feeling by sending an emoji in Outlook, and the good news is that emojis in Microsoft’s email client will be a lot more accessible in the coming months.

Microsoft is currently developing a new feature for the Outlook iOS client with the purpose of making it easier for users to express their emotions through emojis. The new feature will let users react to emails without sending incremental emails, similar to how you react to messages in Skype.
