Checkout Twitter's Independence Day emoji

With 70th Indian Independence Day just a couple of days away, Twitter India is joining the celebration and spirit of freedom with the launch of a new tri-colour emoji featuring the map of India. The emoji would go live on a day prior to the Independence Day, i.e. 14th August 2016 at 6:30 PM IST till 6:30 AM, 17th August 2016.

The microbogging site says that the Indians across the world can be a part of the Independence Day conversations by using the hashtags #India #इंडिया #IndiaAt69 #भारत #IndiaIndependenceDay when composing a Tweet.

Twitter has always celebrated Indian culture with special Twitter emojis for Independence Day, Diwali, Republic Day, among other key milestones and events for Indians across the world. Twitter emojis are a delightful way to bring together Indians across seas to celebrate cultural moments. The emoji will give users a fun way to Tweet, share and celebrate the historic day and express love for their country with live conversations.

“As we celebrate seven decades of free India today, Twitter is delighted to join the celebrations with a customised emoji. The Twitter emojis continue to contribute towards more expressive and increasingly resonating content. It’s a matter of pride to notice that Twitter is gradually becoming an effective channel to add value to our users expressions enabling them to share their stories in a more meaningful manner.” said Raheel Khursheed, Head of News, Politics and Government Partnerships, Twitter India.

Twitter introduced tri-colour flag emoji last year to celebrate 69th year of India’s independence. HAppy Independence Day to all our readers.
