I used to be able to withdraw or to change an emoticon that I used to like a post. Just wanted to change one a couple minutes ago, but that wasn’t possible.

By default, you can’t change/undo a reaction after 10 minutes. I will change this limit to way more.
Edit: done!

Ok, I thought I changed this after days, in the past. Oh well, thanks for adjusting the limit to: way more 
(I like that time quantification).

Good. All posters should have ample opportunity to realize how infantile emojis are and, after coming to that realization, delete them.

This is an interesting topic. I first didn’t like text smileys :) until I did and used them, then I didn’t like emojis until I did and used them, and I didn’t like “likes” until I did and used them (which means I see value in using them), and I didn’t like emoji reactions until I did and used them.
It seems that I’m always a bit late, and I should embrace new means of expression or interactions sooner.
As for emojis themselves in the context of discussion, it took me a while at first (many years ago) to see them as an important and valuable addition to textual discussions and interactions on the internet.
Every evolution goes at its own pace. For example, using emojis in a book would look very cringe to me, but perhaps emojis will be used in books over time, in several or more years, and then I will accept and embrace this use as well

What some people fail to understand is that the human species is good at understanding their pairs using paralanguage, but not so good at understanding the intention behind what’s written. Emojis can help bridge the gap: they are what body and eyes movements are to face-to-face discussions. They help interlocutors to understand what the writer wants to say.
E.g., if I say: “Please stop making puns”, what’s your understanding? Do I really want you to stop making puns? What if I’m laughing at the same time?
Now, what if I write “Please stop making puns 
”? The emoji helps people understand that I find your puns really funny, and that I don’t really want you to stop.
However, we have to be careful. Too many emojis and messages become hard to understand. That would be similar to someone making lots of gestures while talking: it would become hard to keep focused on the message. So, use emojis parsimoniously and that’ll be great for everyone 
I feel the same way (and my kind family told me so even before I thought it for myself ;-). However I am a generally cautious user of emojis since being ‘well past emoji age’ I fear I may pick one that seems right to me, only to discover that due to some recent development in memedom it now means that I have just offended everybody or embarrassed myself. Probably I should learn not to care, like those people who line up a dozen emojis in a row and sign off with lol to send their love

We all use emoji’s in the office, but naturally not in serious conversations. The my boss will say to my colleague “You’re fired!” Without adding a door emoticon :))

Tell him/her that Outlook now integrates them in the email edition view along with reactions to emails…
