In Gacha Online , “secret emots” usually means custom emotes or hidden- looking emotes that you make yourself. The basic idea is to switch off Default , pick a slot like 1–4, tap the plus button, choose the smiley/emote editor, customize the face, then save it so it appears in your emote list.

How it works

  1. Open the emote menu.
  2. Make sure you are not on Default.
  3. Select one of the emote slots, usually 1, 2, 3, or 4.
  4. Tap the plus sign.
  5. Choose the smiley/emote option.
  6. Customize the expression with the eyes, mouth, or other face parts.
  7. Save it and test it.

What people mean by “secret”

Some players call them “secret” because they are not the built-in default emotes, and you have to create or unlock them through the editor. A 2025 Reddit post also points to emotes being accessed through Studio and Face Edit , where you can adjust them further.

Quick tips

  • If the emote does not work, check that you are not still on Default.
  • Try a different slot if one does not save correctly.
  • Use the preview/test button before saving, so you can see how it looks in motion.
  • On some tutorials, the same process is described as a custom emoji or emote, but the steps are basically the same.

Best guess

If you meant a glitch, hidden code, or exploit version of “secret emots,” I’d avoid that route and stick to the normal custom-emote editor. The safe and common method is the custom emote setup above.

TL;DR: Go to emotes, leave Default, pick a slot, press plus, choose the smiley/emote editor, customize, save, and test it.
