The platform then lists all the channels and messages. To add an icon on your username, click on your profile picture on the top-right corner of the page.
Click on set status
Choose the emoji or icons you would like to appear beside your username.
Once you have decided on the icon, choose the duration you want the icon to stay on your profile.
Choose ‘ don’t clear ‘ if you would like the icon to stay on your profile permanently and save.
