What does 🤳 Selfie mean?
Arm stretched out, phone in hand, ready to snap a self-portrait. It marks selfies, mirror pics, outfit checks and new profile photos, or simply says “camera ready”. People also send it to ask a friend for a picture. It works for proud and ironic posts alike, from a glowing vacation shot to a bad-hair-day snap.
🤳 Selfie is an emoji from the People & Body category (hands with props), added in Emoji 3.0 in 2016. People use it in messages about camera and phone.
