Eyes belongs to the very first generation of emojis, standardized in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 after years of use on Japanese phones. It lives in the People and Body group of the emoji list, not with the smileys.
👀 on TikTok and Instagram
On X and TikTok, 👀 means "I see this", curiosity or a teaser for something coming soon. On Instagram, it appears in teaser posts for new products: "something is coming 👀".
Is 👀 easy to misread?
👀 in reply to a friend's photo can seem creepy or suggestive. Add words if you just mean "looking good".
How 👀 looks on different devices
👀 is a standard Unicode emoji. On iPhone the eyes look to the left in Apple's style; Android, Samsung and Windows show their own versions, sometimes looking in a different direction, with the same meaning.
