For Venmo users who want to keep their transaction descriptions secret – or pussy creampie sex videosjust a little cheeky – emoji are the way to go. In 2021, one emoji ruled Venmo descriptions far and wide. Drum roll, please...
According to Quartz, the most used emoji on Venmo this year was ❤️.
This may come as a surprise, as the ❤️ ranks number two on the global list of most used emoji in 2021, coming after 😂. And what's ❤️ supposed to convey when it comes to payment descriptions, anyways? Perhaps it's just vague enough to keep Venmo users on their toes.
