Description

The [shock] emoji on TikTok is a custom emoticon that appears as a shocked face with wide eyes, raised eyebrows, and open mouth when you type [shock] in square brackets. It conveys shock, disbelief, or a sense of horror. It's one of TikTok's 46 secret emojis that only display within the TikTok app.

How to use

Type [shock] in any TikTok comment, caption, video description, or DM. It automatically converts to the emoji when posted.

example: That plot twist was insane [shock]

Meaning and usage

• express shock: "[shock] No way that happened!" to highlight surprising moments
• disbelief: "[shock] I can't believe my eyes!" in reaction videos
• horror reaction: "[shock] That scared me!" for spooky content
• unexpected events: "[shock] What a turn of events!" in story recaps
• amazement: "[shock] Mind completely blown"

Comparison to Unicode emojis

TikTok's [shock] differs from standard Unicode emojis like 😱 (face screaming in fear) or 😲 (astonished face). The TikTok version features a more cartoonish, simplified design with exaggerated wide eyes, raised eyebrows, open mouth, and vibrant tones for emphasis. While Unicode emojis work across all platforms, [shock] is exclusive to TikTok and only displays within the app — outside TikTok, it shows as plain text.

Popular trends

The [shock] emoji appears in reaction videos, horror challenges, plot twist recaps, and surprise pranks. Search "[shock]" on TikTok to see it in shocking content and disbelief expressions.

Creator tip

Pair [shock] with dramatic sounds for reaction content. Use it in thumbnails to create intrigue or in duets responding to surprises. Combine with other secret emojis like [astonish] for dynamic storytelling without overusing it.
