Want to send a customized emoticon on Apple Watch? Here’s how…

Sending animated emoticons on Apple Watch is easy. Just press the side button, select a contact, tap the message button then tap the emoticon button. You can send animated emojis to Apple Watch users and everyone else via iMessage (they arrive as an animated GIF).

By turning the Digital Crown you can choose from dozens of unique emoticon animations, but here’s a secret tip not many know of: you can also customize the look of an emoticon by force pressing on the screen. This will turn the animated face red and turn the animated heart purple.
