What πŸ‘… means

The tone ranges from silly to suggestive. With food, it means yummy or licking your lips. In jokes, it works like sticking your tongue out at someone. It is also widely used as a sexual innuendo, so in flirty chats between adults it is often suggestive. Because it is just a tongue with no face, it is less clearly innocent than πŸ˜›, which most people read as goofy. Check who sent it and what came before to know which meaning fits.

From a girl or a guy

It is not always romantic. If you were talking about food or joking around, it is likely playful. If the chat was already flirty, it is probably a suggestive signal.

In a relationship or crush chat

Between partners it is often teasing or suggestive. With a crush, it can test how flirty you are willing to be.

In texting

With friends it is mostly a silly "bleh" or a reaction to tasty food. Avoid it in formal or family chats where it could be misread.
