Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In collaboration chat, WPS lets you send built-in emoji and custom emoji images. The area above the emoji button can show recently used emoji and custom emoji images for quick reuse. | Microsoft Teams supports custom emoji in the message box and lets users use them in chats, channels, meeting messages, replies, and reactions. | Google Chat lets organizations create, use, manage, and delete custom emoji in chat. | Notion supports standard emoji and workspace custom emoji, but the official documentation mainly describes them for page, database, callout, and rich text icon use rather than a dedicated chat emoji picker. | Adobe Express supports adding stickers to designs. Its official workflow is focused on visual design and asset editing rather than collaboration chat emoji sending. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps recently used emoji and custom emoji images close to the chat input area for faster repeat use. Distinct: It combines built-in emoji and personal custom emoji images in one everyday chat workflow. | Compared with WPS: Teams also supports custom emoji and reactions, but it emphasizes organization-wide sharing and admin controls. | Compared with WPS: Google Chat supports organization custom emoji, but availability depends on work or school accounts and admin settings. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more suitable for page icons and content decoration than chat-first emoji sending. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Express is better suited to sticker creation for designs, not a comparable collaboration chat emoji workflow. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Emojis is more focused on fast expression inside collaboration chat, especially when you often reuse recent emoji or custom emoji images. Compared with Teams and Google Chat, WPS keeps the workflow close to the message editor. Notion and Adobe Express serve adjacent scenarios such as page icons or design stickers rather than the same chat-centered use case.
