Why? http://whatmoji.com/?i=da510f5876a15885fa89de8abe731d3c EDIT: OK, so it stores only the emojis. The actual text is removed.

Yes, it stores the list of emojis so that you can link to it. The text is never stored.

Are you concerned this might be a privacy issue? I could change it to only store searches on demand.

That was my concern at first, but I don't think it's an issue if it doesn't store the entire text.
