Welcome to our guide on how to mute and unmute emotes in Clash Royale!
First, let’s talk about what emotes are. In Clash Royale, emotes are little messages or symbols that you can send to your opponent during a match. They can be funny, sarcastic, or just friendly. To use an emote, simply tap the emote button in the bottom right corner of the screen, then choose the emote you want to use.
There are several different types of emotes to choose from in Clash Royale. You can send a thumbs up to show your opponent that you enjoyed the match, or a heart to show that you appreciate their sportsmanship. You can even send a crying face if you think your opponent made a particularly unfair move.
