From a Guy — From your crush
What does 🔕 mean from a guy you like?
If your crush sends this, he's probably just saying 'I'm busy/focused/taking a break from my phone.' It's not usually a diss, but a heads-up that he might not reply immediately. Don't read into it as a rejection; he's probably just needing some screen-free time.

Is 🔕 flirty or friendly?▾
🔕 is almost exclusively friendly or neutral. It's very rarely flirty. If it were used flirtily, it would be a very specific, self-aware usage, like 'I'm muting everyone else for you 🔕,' which is not a common move. Stick to friendly or 'I need a break' as the main interpretation.
