Change your emoji display
There are a few preferences for managing how emoji display in Slack. Keep in mind that Slack displays emoji in Apple's style on iOS and Mac devices, and Google's style on Windows, Linux, and Android devices.
Switch between Unicode and plain text
By default, Slack will display Unicode emoji, but you can choose to display emoji as plain text instead if you’d like.
Unicode
Plain text
From your desktop, click your profile picture in the top right.
Select Preferences from the menu.
Select Messages & media.
Under Emoji, check or uncheck Display emoji as plain text.
Click the close icon when you're done.
Choose your jumbomoji preference
When you add emoji to a message, the size of the emoji will adjust to match the text. If your message doesn't have any text and only contains emoji, the emoji will appear larger (we call them jumbomoji).
From your desktop, click your profile picture in the top right.
Select Preferences from the menu.
Select Messages & media.
Under Emoji, check or uncheck Show jumbomoji.
Click the close icon when you're done.
Tip:Slack will display jumbomoji for a maximum of 23 emoji in a row.
Use emoticons
By default, Slack will change common emoticons to an equivalent emoji. You can choose if you'd like Slack to automatically convert typed emoticons.
From your desktop, click your profile picture in the top right.
Select Preferences from the menu.
Select Messages & media.
Under Emoji, check or uncheck Convert my typed emoticons to emoji, so :D becomes 😄 .
