How to use 😭
Now one of the standard replies to something very funny, sitting alongside 💀. Also carries genuine emotion: “I am so proud of you 😭”. Tone comes almost entirely from the surrounding text.

Good to know
The comedic and sincere uses look identical, so it is one of the easiest emojis to misread in a message with no other context.
