The ⭐ “Favorites” tab in ETeext: your most-used emojis and symbols.

What is it?

In ETeext's Emojis & symbols panel, a tab marked with a star (“Favorites”) automatically gathers the emojis and symbols you use the most. Instead of scrolling through hundreds of characters every time, you find yours at a glance, right at the top.

How it fills up (on its own)

You don't have to tick or pin anything. Every time you insert an emoji or a symbol into your text, ETeext counts it, then shows your characters ranked from most-used to least-used.

At first the tab is empty, with a prompt (“Use emojis and your favorites will appear here.”) — it builds up as you go.

What it's for

Mainly, this tab lets you:

  • Save time: your recurring emojis (⭐, ✅, →, ♥…) are available right away, without digging through categories.
  • Stay consistent: you easily reuse the same symbols across your bios, signatures, titles or usernames.
  • Made for you: the list reflects your way of writing, not a generic ranking.

Where it's stored — and your privacy

This list is saved locally, on your device (in the browser), with no server at all: nothing is sent to the cloud, and it works offline, true to ETeext's “local-first” approach.

  • It's specific to this device and browser — it doesn't sync from one phone to another.
  • If you clear the browser data (or uninstall the app), the counter resets — no harm done, it rebuilds as you use it.

Good to know

  • The tab highlights your most-used emojis and symbols (the very first ones in the list).
  • In the free version, PRO-only symbols stay locked even here (tapping one offers to go PRO).
  • It works alongside everything else: you can style your text and drop in your favorite symbols.
