From a Guy — From your crush
What does ⌨️ mean from a guy you like?
If he sends this to you, he might be hinting that a long, possibly heartfelt or explanatory message is coming, or he's just letting you know he's on his PC, maybe playing games or doing homework. It's usually a fairly neutral update, not a strong flirt signal.

Your bro sent this? He's probably saying 'I'm logging on to game,' 'about to write this paper,' or 'lemme type this crazy response.' It's pretty direct and usually about online activity or getting stuff done.

People Also Ask
What does ⌨️ mean from a girl?▾
Real talk: if a girl sends ⌨️, she's likely about to send a long message, is currently busy typing (for work, school, or gaming), or is just signaling she's online. Context is key, but it's generally a heads-up that detailed communication or focused activity is happening.
What does ⌨️ mean in texting?▾
In texting, ⌨️ means you're about to type a lot, you're currently engrossed in computer-based work/gaming, or you're signaling a 'lemme get my thoughts together' moment before a long reply. It's a versatile emoji for online activity or impending detailed communication.
Is ⌨️ flirty or friendly?▾
It's almost exclusively friendly or neutral. It's not inherently flirty at all. If it feels flirty, it's because of deep, established romantic context and what was said *before* the emoji, not the emoji itself. In most cases, it's just about typing or online activity.
