If you’re chatting with someone and they send you a heart emoji or emoticon, you might be wondering how to respond, or what it even means. Are they flirting, or just letting you know they care? Next time someone texts you a heart emoji—whether it’s your crush, a friend, or a stranger online—try not to sweat it. We’ll talk you through the best ways to respond, and how to figure out what that little heart might mean in the first place.
Heart Emoji Meaning in Text
If a Tinder match sends a heart emoji, they’re probably flirting. If you told your friend you're down with the flu, they may have just sent a heart to let you know they’re thinking of you. If you’re not sure, respond with the same heart emoji or a smile 😊.
