Creating Your Own Emoticon on Facebook Chat

The Trick:

While this is not actually new, many people have no idea about this feature. Since 2011, Facebook has allowed users to chat with their friends using custom emoticons, and now you can too. Just by getting a page’s or a profile’s ID or username, Facebook will let you use their profile pictures as your chat emoticon in thumbnails…

*note this only works in the Facebook Chat and not in updates. 

How to Do it:

1)       Go to any profile, official Page, or event that you want to use as an emoticon.

2)       Look for the profile ID at the end of the URL, such as “username” from 

https://www.facebook.com/username

3)       Place that username or number in double brackets like [[username]]

Note: Pages with no username /vanity URL  e.g https://www.facebook.com/Username have default ID numbers displayed on their URLs (http://www.facebook.com/pages/LoveAn-excellent-feeling/333797746646604/).  So when you cannot find  a profile or a page’s username, just refer to the numbers at the end of the URL, instead. 

4)       Enter that into a Facebook Chat or Message field.
