This might be the most important Zoho tip we give you all week.
Okay, maybe not technically the most important. But if you live in Zoho Cliq like we do at TechnoMap, this tiny customization is going to make your day.
Let’s talk about emoji defaults. Specifically, the ones you see when you hover over a message in Zoho Cliq.
You know the ones. Those three little emojis that Zoho picked out for you — and somehow decided those were the best possible options for reacting to every message you’ll ever get??

The Problem: Default Emoji Energy Is Low
Let’s be honest. The default emoji set? A little underwhelming.
You deserve better. You deserve to respond with the emojis that actually match your personality, your sarcasm level, or your very professional love of sparkles and coffee icons.
The Fix: Set Your Own Default Emojis in Zoho Cliq
Here’s how to reclaim your reactions:
- Click your profile picture in the top right corner of Zoho Cliq
- Choose “Profile & Settings” from the dropdown
- In the sidebar, go to “Display”
- Scroll down to “Quick Emojis”
- You’ll see the three current defaults
- Click the little “X” on any emoji you want to replace
- Choose a new one from the emoji picker
- A live preview will show you what your new set looks like
Click Save and you’re done. Instant emoji upgrade.
Why This (Actually) Matters
Is this the most critical part of your business systems? No.
But it is a small way to bring a little personality into your workday, which we are very much here for.
If you’re a millennial like us who thrives on emoji-reacting to every message with unnecessary enthusiasm, this one’s for you.
Customize your vibe. Match your mood. Use that “cry laughing” or “side eye” emoji like the icon you are.
Bottom Line
Customizing your Zoho Cliq emoji defaults is a five-second task that delivers a surprising amount of joy.
It’s small. It’s silly. But it makes your day in Cliq feel a little more like you.
At TechnoMap, we help small businesses set up Zoho in ways that are smart, functional, and yes — even fun.
