Real talk: if a girl sends this, she's usually setting up a 'story time' or sharing a 'main character' moment from her life. If it's your crush, it could be a soft invite for a movie or a way to draw you into her world. From a friend, it's definitely just casual tea-spilling.

Is 📽️ flirty or friendly?▾
This emoji is pretty versatile. It can definitely be friendly, especially when setting up a 'story time' in group chats or with your besties.
