Grinning face with smiling eyes emoji meaning

A warm smile that reaches the eyes.

The closed eyes make the smile feel genuine. You'll see it in friendly chats, thank-you messages and cheerful news.

It's louder than 😊 and calmer than 😂, a good middle ground when you want to sound happy without overdoing it.
