WhatsApp It is not only one of the most widely used messaging applications in the world, but it is also a medium that has been able to create its own system to communicate with our friends, family or colleagues. Not just text. Within this system of codes, the use of emojis stands out. In this post we are going to talk about a very specific type: colored hearts.
The truth is that this app has changed considerably since the first time it was launched. Over time, it has been incorporating all kinds of improvements and new features. The original list of icons was very short and limited, nothing to do with what we can find today.
We've reached a point where many users don't even bother to type. They consider it faster and more effective to record audio or transmit their messages through emojis, memes, videos, gifs, etc. Nothing to say about it, if it works.
Focusing now on the colored hearts, the protagonists of our article, it must be said that they are not there simply for aesthetics. Each heart has a well-defined meaning, which makes it possible to transmit specific messages at all times. Obviously, for everything to flow as it should, both the sender and the receiver have to know what that meaning is. Otherwise, the little hearts would not be used for anything other than to decorate our messages a bit.
For this we have written this entry, with the help of the information collected in the Emojipedia, to clarify what is the meaning of colored hearts and how to use them in our WhatsApp conversations:
Colored hearts
- ❤️ Red heart. It is one of the easiest to identify, since its meaning is the same both inside and outside of WhatsApp: love as a couple, passion.
- 🧡 Orange heart. This is distinguished from the previous one by expressing another type of love, the one that two good friends or girlfriends can profess.
- 💛 yellow heart. It is used the same as orange, always as a sign of friendship.
- ???? pink heart. A message that arrives accompanied by this emoji conveys good wishes. It is a gesture of courtesy and kindness, although in principle it has nothing to do with love.
- 💜 purple heart, purple or violet. It is the expression of hidden love, that of a forbidden relationship or a secret romance.
- 💚 Green heart. Has several meanings. It can be interpreted as a symbol of health and well-being to send to a person who is sick. As a couple, it symbolizes a stable and healthy relationship.
- 💙 Blue Heart. It is the opposite state of red, its meaning is that of love that goes out, that of a relationship in crisis.
- 🖤 black heart. It is used to express the pain for the loss of a loved one. A sign of mourning.

As you can see, the colored hearts of WhatsApp offer us an assortment and complete catalog of hidden messages with which to season our chats.
It must be said, however, that others can be added to these conventional meanings. For example, it is common for fans of different Sport teams adapt the color of the hearts to those of your clubs (Real Madrid fans will use the white heart, Barça fans will combine a blue heart with a red one, etc.). In that case, of course, the meaning will be different. The same can be applied to the followers of political parties and other groups.
