What 😘 means

The tone is warm and affectionate, sometimes flirty. It is stronger than πŸ˜— or 😚 because of the heart and the wink, but it is widely used outside romance: with family, close friends and to end a call or chat ("bye 😘"). Between partners or crushes it often reads as loving or flirty. It is close to saying "muah" or "xoxo." Many people send it to mothers, sisters and friends with no romantic meaning at all. How you read it depends on the relationship, not the emoji alone.

From a girl or a guy

It can be flirty, but not always. Many people send 😘 to friends and family as a warm goodbye or thank you, so look at how they usually text and whether it is paired with other romantic signs.

In a relationship or crush chat

Between partners it means love, missing you or goodnight with affection. From a crush, it is a fairly warm signal, especially if it is new in your chats.

At work

It is usually too personal for work chats. Use πŸ™ or 😊 instead unless you know the person very well.
